Avalanche forecast for Sunday 8 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 North-West to North to North-East.

Single winter sport participants can release avalanches in isolated cases. Mostly these are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of slab avalanches being released will increase a little. Backcountry tours and off-piste skiing should be concluded timely.

And now the snowpack:

Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on shady slopes. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to slight softening of the snowpack in particular on very steep sunny slopes.

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

The tendency for Monday 9 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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