Avalanche forecast for Saturday 21 March 2026.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.

all day it applies above the treeline moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, 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 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 by a single winter sport participant in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2000 m. Avalanches can in isolated cases release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach medium 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:

In some localities up to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from variable directions, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the last few days. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. Distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. This applies especially above approximately 2000 m. Steep sunny slopes: Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to moistening of the snowpack.

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

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