Avalanche forecast for Wednesday 18 March 2026.

Fresh wind slabs require caution. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

all day it applies above 2200 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2200 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above 2200 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

As a consequence of the sometimes strong wind the wind slabs will increase in size moderately. The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200 m. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Avalanches can in isolated cases be triggered in near-ground layers and reach medium size. Such avalanche prone locations are rare but are barely recognisable.

And now the snowpack:

The wind will be strong at times. As a consequence of the easterly wind the wind slabs will increase in size moderately. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on west to north to east facing aspects at elevated altitudes. West, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m: Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack.

The tendency for Thursday 19 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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