Avalanche forecast for Wednesday 25 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 persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

Weakly bonded old snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep northwest to north to northeast facing slopes, especially on very steep slopes above the tree line, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. The wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above the tree line. Avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach quite a large size. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual mostly small moist loose snow slides are possible. This applies on very steep slopes at the base of rock walls.

And now the snowpack:

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.

The tendency for Thursday 26 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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