Avalanche forecast for Saturday 7 February 2026.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. The avalanche danger in particular above the tree line is within the uppermost range of danger level 3 (considerable).

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

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

The fresh snow of the last few days as well as the wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. Distinct weak layers in the lower part of the snowpack can be released even easily by individual winter sport participants. Avalanches can penetrate down to the ground and reach large size. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and natural avalanches serve as an alarm indicating the danger. The avalanche prone locations are prevalent and are difficult to recognise. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies especially on west, north and east facing slopes. The snowpack remains prone to triggering. Night: In some localities 5 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1500 m. The snowpack will be moist at low altitude.

The tendency for Sunday 8 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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