Avalanche forecast for Saturday 28 March 2026.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

all day it applies above 1800 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 1800 meter, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, all day, above 2200 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Wind slabs can be released easily by a single winter sport participant in all aspects above approximately 1800 m. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. This also applies at a distance from ridgelines, as well as in places that are protected from the wind. Avalanches are medium-sized. In isolated cases avalanches can also penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, and on south facing slopes at elevated altitudes. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable.

And now the snowpack:

10 to 15 cm of snow fell in the last few days. The northwesterly wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. As a consequence of a gusty wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack above approximately 1800 m. The old snowpack will be weakly bonded, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, and on south facing slopes at elevated altitudes.

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

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