Avalanche forecast for Sunday 1 March 2026.

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Wet snow requires caution.

all day it applies above 2000 meter considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

all day, above 2000 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, below 2200 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West.

Avalanches can be released in the old snowpack and reach large size. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found also on steep sunny slopes above approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. In their paths avalanches can entrain the wet snow. This extends the avalanche runout distances. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted over a wide area. Individual small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized wet loose snow avalanches are possible below approximately 2200 m.

And now the snowpack:

Some snow will fall in some localities. The weather will be mild. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.1: deep persistent weak layer, dp.7: snow-poor zones in snow-rich surrounding.

The tendency for Monday 2 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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