Avalanche forecast for Thursday 19 March 2026.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.

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. This in all aspects. Furthermore, all day, above 2000 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

The fresh and older wind slabs can be released easily, even by a single winter sport participant, in particular on northwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 2000 m. Avalanches can in isolated cases release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach 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. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation small and medium-sized natural avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

Over a wide area 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last two days 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. Below approximately 1800 m: The old snowpack remains moist.

The tendency for Friday 20 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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