Avalanche forecast for Saturday 21 March 2026.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow are to be assessed with care and prudence.

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.

Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches in some places. These can in some cases be triggered in near-surface layers and reach medium size, especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m, as well as on very steep sunny slopes above approximately 2500 m. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Isolated whumpfing sounds can indicate the danger. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. Additionally in isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in near-ground layers. 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. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable. Avalanches can in isolated cases reach large size.

And now the snowpack:

In some localities up to 10 cm of snow will fall. 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. In the event of solar radiation this applies in particular.

The tendency for Sunday 22 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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