Avalanche forecast for Sunday 22 February 2026.

Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated critically. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases.

all day it applies above the treeline considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, 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 the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, below 1800 meter, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases by individual winter sport participants especially in little used terrain. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. In addition the wind slabs in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain are prone to triggering in some cases still. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found on north, east and southeast facing slopes above the tree line. Restraint is advisable.

And now the snowpack:

Some snow fell on Saturday. The wind will be strong to storm force in some localities. The sometimes storm force wind will transport the new snow. Sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form. The snowpack will be in some cases prone to triggering. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to moistening of the snowpack.

The tendency for Monday 23 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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