Avalanche forecast for Sunday 1 February 2026.

An unfavourable avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area. The conditions are treacherous for backcountry touring.

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

all day, above the treeline, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, below 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 very easily. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line, in isolated cases also on south facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. The avalanche prone locations are widespread and are barely recognisable. 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.

And now the snowpack:

The large quantity of fresh snow of last week and the extensive wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. The old snowpack is faceted. Distinct weak layers exist in the snowpack.

The tendency for Monday 2 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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