Avalanche forecast for Wednesday 11 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 for dry avalanches 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 the day progresses the likelihood of moist slab avalanches being released will increase a little on very steep west and east facing slopes below approximately 2200 m.

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 places. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. This applies at high altitude. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to slight softening of the snowpack below approximately 2200 m.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.7: snow-poor zones in snow-rich surrounding, dp.10: springtime scenario.

The tendency for Thursday 12 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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