Update of the avalanche forecast for Saturday 21 February 2026.

A sometimes unfavourable avalanche situation will prevail.

all day it applies above the treeline considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

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. This in all aspects. Furthermore, all day, below 1800 meter, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects.

Wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant above the tree line. Avalanches can also penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size on west, north and east facing slopes. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. Very isolated medium-sized natural avalanches are not entirely ruled out. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation mostly small moist loose snow avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. Above the tree line: The strong wind will transport the new snow. Somewhat older wind slabs are lying on surface hoar in some places. Further wind slabs will form. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to moistening of the snowpack.

The tendency for Sunday 22 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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