Update of the avalanche forecast for Wednesday 18 February 2026.

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 wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North to North to South-East.

Avalanches can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. Fresh wind slabs are to be avoided as far as possible especially on very steep north and east facing slopes.

And now the snowpack:

15 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Sunday. The wind was strong at times. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers. Older wind slabs are lying on surface hoar in some places, in particular in places that are protected from the wind.

The tendency for Thursday 19 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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