Avalanche forecast for Friday 30 January 2026.

A dangerous avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area. The danger exists primarily in alpine snow sports terrain.

all day it applies above the treeline high avalanche danger, so danger level four, below moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

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

The fresh snow as well as the widespread wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in all aspects above the tree line. Avalanches can be released easily. These can penetrate deep layers and reach large size. Remotely triggered avalanches are to be expected. The avalanche prone locations are widespread and are barely recognisable. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Caution is to be exercised on cut slopes, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Naturally triggered avalanches and avalanches triggered by explosives confirm a dangerous avalanche situation. Great caution and restraint are required.

And now the snowpack:

In some regions up to 60 cm of snow has fallen since Saturday. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. It is faceted.

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

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