Avalanche forecast for Thursday 5 February 2026.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

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

all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

The fresh wind slabs can be released easily in some cases. This applies especially on steep shady slopes, as well as adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above the tree line. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

And now the snowpack:

The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack at elevated altitudes. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.

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

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