Avalanche forecast for Tuesday 3 February 2026.

As a consequence of new snow and wind a precarious avalanche situation will prevail.

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 wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above 1800 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can be released easily by individual winter sport participants in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Avalanches can release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach medium size in particular along the border with Friuli. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1800 m. Individual natural avalanches are possible in the afternoon. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack indicate the danger. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases.

And now the snowpack:

10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, 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!
