Avalanche forecast for Saturday 28 March 2026.

For those venturing off piste a sometimes precarious avalanche situation will prevail.

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

all day, above the treeline, we have a new snow problem. This in all aspects.

The large quantity of fresh snow and the extensive wind slabs can be released easily above the tree line. Avalanches can be triggered in near-surface layers and reach medium size. Additionally in isolated cases avalanches can penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack, especially on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Whumpfing sounds and shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. 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. In addition gliding avalanches are to be expected, especially on cut and grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m.

And now the snowpack:

30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. The wind has transported the new snow significantly. Extensive wind slabs formed. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers above the tree line. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack, especially on shady slopes.

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

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