Avalanche forecast for Saturday 28 March 2026.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.

all day it applies above 1600 meter considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 1600 meter, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, all day, above 1900 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Wind slabs are prone to triggering in all aspects above approximately 1600 m. These can be released in near-surface layers. Avalanches can in isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size on west, north and east facing slopes. As a consequence of solar radiation loose snow avalanches are possible. This applies in particular on very steep slopes in places that are protected from the wind.

And now the snowpack:

20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days. The northwesterly wind has transported the new snow and, in some cases, old snow as well. As a consequence of a gusty wind, easily released wind slabs formed. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack above approximately 1600 m. The old snowpack will be weakly bonded, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1900 m.

The tendency for Sunday 29 March 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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