Avalanche forecast for Friday 6 February 2026.

The avalanche danger is within the uppermost range of danger level 3 (considerable). Natural avalanches and loose snow slides are still possible.

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

all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, all day, above the treeline, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above 1200 meter, we have a new snow problem. This in all aspects.

Attention, a special warning: The conditions are precarious for backcountry touring and other off-piste activities.

The fresh snow of the last few days as well as the deep wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. In particular on wind-loaded slopes avalanches can be released easily and reach medium size. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and natural avalanches serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. Distinct weak layers in the lower part of the snowpack can be released even now easily by individual winter sport participants in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies in particular above the tree line on steep west, north and east facing slopes. Avalanches can release the weakly bonded old snow as well and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are covered with new snow and are therefore barely recognisable for beginners. They are numerous. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. Caution and restraint are recommended.

And now the snowpack:

The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days are poorly bonded with the old snowpack above the tree line. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies especially on west, north and east facing slopes. Night: Over a wide area 5 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen above approximately 1200 m.

The tendency for Saturday 7 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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