Avalanche forecast for Tuesday 3 February 2026.

A treacherous avalanche situation will prevail. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Wind slabs are to be avoided.

all day it applies above 1800 meter considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 1800 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab 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 approximately 1800 m, in isolated cases also on south facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. In addition the fresh wind slabs in particular above the tree line are prone to triggering. 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:

5 to 10 cm of snow will fall. As a consequence of a gusty southerly wind, soft wind slabs will form. These will be deposited on surface hoar in particular on wind-protected shady slopes. The snowpack is unfavourably layered. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1800 m.

The tendency for Wednesday 4 February 2026 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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