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.

Fresh and older wind slabs can still be released in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200 m. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant in some cases. 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. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Such avalanche prone locations are rare but are barely recognisable.

And now the snowpack:

As a consequence of a strong wind from variable directions, wind slabs formed. These are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack above approximately 2200 m. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies in particular above approximately 2200 m. Steep sunny slopes: The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to gradual 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!
