Update of the avalanche forecast for Sunday 1 March 2026.

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

all day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

all day, below 2000 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West. Furthermore, all day, above 1900 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

More small to medium-sized wet avalanches are possible, in particular on very steep sunny slopes, and at the base of rock walls below approximately 2000 m. Additionally in isolated cases 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 Sunday it will be mild over a wide area. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced at times. Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften quickly. The weather conditions gave rise 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 on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies especially at elevated altitudes.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.10: springtime scenario, dp.1: deep persistent weak layer.

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

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