Avalanche forecast for Monday 9 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.

Winter sport participants can release avalanches in isolated cases. These can reach large size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2000 m and on very steep west and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 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 on steep sunny slopes.

And now the snowpack:

Distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes, in particular above approximately 2000 m. Towards its surface, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals, especially on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze. This applies in particular in the east. 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 on very steep sunny slopes.

The tendency for Tuesday 10 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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