Avalanche forecast for Thursday 5 March 2026.

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

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

all day, above 2000 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Avalanches can in some cases be released in the old snowpack and reach quite a large size on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant in some cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Only isolated mostly small wet avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. Many starting zones have released the snow.

And now the snowpack:

Shady slopes: Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies especially above approximately 2000 m. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to softening of the snowpack in particular on very steep sunny slopes.

The tendency for Friday 6 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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