Avalanche forecast for Friday 6 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 on west, north and east facing slopes especially above approximately 1800 m. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of avalanches being released will increase. In many cases avalanches are medium-sized. 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. Defensive route selection is important.

And now the snowpack:

In some localities up to 30 cm of snow has fallen since Tuesday. The new snow is lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1800 m. 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 Saturday 7 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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