Update of the avalanche forecast for Thursday 5 February 2026.

The conditions are precarious. The avalanche danger is within the upper range of danger level 3 (considerable).

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

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

In particular on west, north and east facing slopes more frequent natural avalanches are possible during the first half of the night. Avalanches can in many places be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. Natural avalanches and whumpfing sounds are a clear indication of a weakly bonded snowpack. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. The avalanche prone locations are prevalent and are barely recognisable.

And now the snowpack:

In particular along the border with Slovenia and along the border with Italy in some localities up to 30 cm of snow has fallen since Tuesday above approximately 1200 m. 20 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.

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

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