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. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above the treeline, we have a new snow problem. This in all aspects.

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 be released in the old snowpack and reach quite a large size on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist loose snow avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

Very steep, little used shady slopes: Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. This applies at high altitude. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good in some case. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack.

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

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