Avalanche forecast for Sunday 15 March 2026.

The fresh snow and the wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence.

all day it applies above the treeline considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects South-West to North to North-East. Furthermore, all day, above 2000 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

The fresh snow and the wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence above the tree line. Avalanches can in isolated cases release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach quite a large size. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in northwest to north to northeast facing aspects. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep shady slopes, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example.

And now the snowpack:

Over a wide area 15 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the afternoon above approximately 1700 m. Distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. This applies especially above approximately 2000 m. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be barely evident. Below approximately 1800 m: The old snowpack will be moist.

The tendency for Monday 16 March 2026 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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