Avalanche forecast for Friday 20 March 2026.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require 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.

The somewhat older wind slabs can be released easily in some places, especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized avalanches are possible. Additionally in isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in near-ground layers. Such avalanche prone locations are rare but are barely recognisable. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable.

And now the snowpack:

West, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m: Wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. Steep sunny slopes: Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to moistening of the snowpack.

The tendency for Saturday 21 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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