Avalanche forecast for Friday 27 February 2026.

Increase in danger of wet avalanches in the course of the day.

earlier in the day it applies above 1900 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one. later in the day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

earlier in the day, above 1900 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East. Furthermore, later in the day, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West. Furthermore, later in the day, above 1900 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation wet avalanches are to be expected. This applies especially on very steep sunny slopes, and at the base of rock walls. The runout zones are to be treated with caution. Additionally in some places avalanches can also be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant in isolated cases, especially at elevated altitudes 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:

On Friday it will be very mild over a wide area. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to thorough wetting of the snowpack. This applies especially on very steep sunny slopes, as well as at the base of rock walls. Shady slopes: Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes.

The tendency for Saturday 28 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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