Avalanche forecast for Thursday 12 February 2026.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released by individual winter sport participants in particular on steep shady slopes.

all day it applies above 2000 meter considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2000 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Avalanches can be released by a single winter sport participant. Mostly they are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. They are difficult to recognise. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. In addition the fresh wind slabs adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls are prone to triggering in some cases.

And now the snowpack:

Some snow will fall in some regions. The moderate wind will transport the snow. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack at elevated altitudes. Above approximately 2000 m: The snowpack will be prone to triggering. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. Below approximately 2000 m as well as steep sunny slopes: The snowpack is fairly homogeneous and its surface has a crust that is barely capable of bearing a load.

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

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