Avalanche forecast for Monday 23 February 2026.

Increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming.

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

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

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized wet loose snow avalanches are possible. In addition especially at the base of rock walls, individual small and medium-sized wet avalanches are possible. This applies in particular on very steep sunny slopes. The runout zones are to be treated with caution. Avalanches can be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant in some cases, especially above approximately 1800 m on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. In their paths avalanches can entrain the wet snow. This extends the avalanche runout distances.

And now the snowpack:

30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to gradual and thorough wetting of the snowpack. This applies in particular on very steep sunny slopes. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes.

The tendency for Tuesday 24 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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