Avalanche forecast for Friday 30 January 2026.

A precarious avalanche situation will prevail.

all day it applies above the treeline considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above the treeline, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow, even by a single winter sport participant. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are widespread and are barely recognisable. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found also in areas close to the tree line. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Caution and restraint are required.

And now the snowpack:

In some regions up to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Saturday. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack above the tree line. The old snowpack is faceted. This applies especially in shady places that are protected from the wind.

The tendency for Saturday 31 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
