Update of the avalanche forecast for Sunday 8 February 2026.

Weakly bonded old snow represents the main danger.

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 persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Avalanches can in some places be released easily, especially on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. In the regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 3 (considerable) the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase.

And now the snowpack:

The snowpack is unfavourably layered. In its middle, the snowpack is weak. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be moist at low altitude. On steep sunny slopes the snowpack will only just freeze. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year in all altitude zones.

The tendency for Monday 9 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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