Avalanche forecast for Wednesday 18 February 2026.

Wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack.

all day it applies above 1800 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 1800 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

In particular on wind-loaded slopes avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow and reach medium size. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant in some cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1800 m. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.

And now the snowpack:

Over a wide area 10 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1500 m. As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from northerly directions, wind slabs formed. These are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 1800 m.

The tendency for Thursday 19 February 2026 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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