Avalanche forecast for Monday 16 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. Avalanches can be released in near-ground layers and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Such avalanche prone locations are rare but are barely recognisable. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. In addition the small wind slabs adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls are capable of being triggered in isolated cases, in particular on very steep shady slopes.

And now the snowpack:

Above approximately 2000 m: Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. The mostly small wind slabs of Sunday are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes. As a consequence of a freshening westerly wind, further wind slabs will form in the course of the day in some regions. Below approximately 2000 m and steep sunny slopes: The old snowpack will be moist.

The tendency for Tuesday 17 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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