Avalanche forecast for Monday 2 February 2026.

Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

all day it applies above 2200 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2200 meter, 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 approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. The fresh wind slabs can be released at elevated altitudes. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines. Mostly avalanches are small. 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 can indicate the danger.

And now the snowpack:

As a consequence of a gusty wind from northerly directions, mostly small wind slabs formed. As a consequence of a strengthening wind from southerly directions, further wind slabs will form. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on surface hoar in some places. The old snowpack is faceted and weak. Weak layers exist in the snowpack.

The tendency for Tuesday 3 February 2026 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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