Avalanche forecast for Saturday 14 February 2026.

Weakly bonded old snow represents the main danger. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

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. Furthermore, all day, above 2200 meter, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects.

Avalanches can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant, especially on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line, and in little used backcountry terrain. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Isolated whumpfing sounds and shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. As a consequence of the strong westerly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed during the last few days. They are only small but in some cases prone to triggering. This applies in places that are protected from the wind above approximately 2200 m.

And now the snowpack:

The fresh wind slabs are lying on surface hoar in some places above approximately 2200 m. This applies in particular in places that are protected from the wind. The snowpack is unfavourably layered. In its middle, the snowpack is weak in some cases. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. 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 Sunday 15 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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