Avalanche forecast for Monday 9 February 2026.

A treacherous avalanche situation will persist. The snowpack remains prone to triggering.

all day it applies above the treeline considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, 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 as before be released easily. They can penetrate down to the ground and reach large size in isolated cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line as well as in areas close to the tree line. 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. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

The new snow and wind slabs of last week are lying on surface hoar in particular on wind-protected shady slopes. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line as well as in areas close to the tree line. The snowpack will become moist on steep sunny slopes. This applies at low and intermediate altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year in all altitude zones.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.1: deep persistent weak layer, dp.8: surface hoar blanketed with snow.

The tendency for Tuesday 10 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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