Avalanche forecast for Saturday 7 March 2026.

Weakly bonded old snow represents the main danger.

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. Furthermore, all day, below 2400 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West.

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. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of slab avalanches being released will increase a little also on steep sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. Individual mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible. Backcountry tours and off-piste skiing should be concluded timely.

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 Sunday 8 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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