Avalanche forecast for Friday 30 January 2026.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow represent the main danger.

all day it applies above the treeline moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, 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 by a single winter sport participant. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. In addition the fresh and older wind slabs are capable of being triggered. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.

And now the snowpack:

In some regions up to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. 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.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.5: snowfall after a long period of cold, dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind.

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

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