Avalanche forecast for Thursday 12 February 2026.

The snowpack will be prone to triggering. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

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. Furthermore, all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to East.

Avalanches can mostly be released easily. They are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. As a consequence of the occasionally strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. These are in some cases prone to triggering in particular on northwest to north to east facing aspects. The avalanche situation is more favourable in highly frequented off-piste terrain.

And now the snowpack:

Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow will fall. The wind will be strong. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on surface hoar in some places above the tree line. This applies in particular on northwest, north and east facing slopes. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line.

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

The tendency for Friday 13 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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