Update of the avalanche forecast for Wednesday 11 March 2026.

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

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Avalanches can be released in the old snowpack, even by a single winter sport participant. They can in isolated cases release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach quite a large size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular above approximately 2000 m and on steep northwest and northeast facing slopes. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was reduced. In the late morning the likelihood of slab avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep southeast and southwest facing slopes below approximately 2400 m. As a consequence of warming during the day individual mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

Shady slopes: Distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies especially above approximately 2000 m. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was reduced. The surface of the snowpack is hardly frozen at all and will already be soft in the early morning. This applies in particular below approximately 2400 m. Some snow has fallen in some regions. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations over a wide area.

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

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