Avalanche forecast for Thursday 5 February 2026.

Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution.

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.

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 especially above approximately 1800 m. In many cases avalanches are medium-sized. Individual natural avalanches are not ruled out. 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 indicate the danger. The avalanche prone locations are prevalent and are barely recognisable. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

In some localities up to 15 cm of snow has fallen since Tuesday. 15 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The new snow will be deposited on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.1: deep persistent weak layer, dp.8: surface hoar blanketed with snow.

The tendency for Friday 6 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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