As a consequence of new snow and a storm force northerly wind, sometimes large wind slabs formed in all aspects. These can be released very easily above the tree line. Avalanches can be triggered in near-surface layers. Additionally in some places avalanches can penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. <br/> The danger exists primarily in alpine snow sports terrain. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. <br/> <br/> In addition dry loose snow avalanches are possible, in the event of solar radiation especially on extremely steep slopes. <br/> <br/> Restraint is advisable on this first sunny day. 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Wednesday. <br/> The wind was violent in some cases. The wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. <br/> <br/> The new snow and wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack above the tree line. 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. Avalanches can as before be released easily. 2026-03-27T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2026-03-27T16:00:00Z 2026-03-28T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 3 1 DP6 DP1 drifting snow old snow steady 2026-03-28T16:00:00Z 2026-03-29T16:00:00Z Outside marked and open pistes an unfavourable avalanche situation will prevail. The extensive wind slabs are very prone to triggering in all aspects above the tree line. These can be released in near-surface layers and reach medium size. Avalanches can also penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach large size on west, north and east facing slopes. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and fresh avalanches serve as an alarm indicating the danger. <br/> <br/> 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. 20 to 50 cm of snow fell in the last few days. <br/> The wind was violent in some cases. The northwesterly wind has transported the new snow and, in some cases, old snow as well. Extensive wind slabs formed. <br/> <br/> The new snow and wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack above the tree line. 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. Avalanches can be released easily. 2026-03-27T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2026-03-27T16:00:00Z 2026-03-28T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 DP1 drifting snow decreasing 2026-03-28T16:00:00Z 2026-03-29T16:00:00Z Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. Wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above the tree line. Avalanches can in very isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size. The wind was storm force in some cases. The northwesterly wind has transported some snow. Avalanche prone wind slabs formed. Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. 2026-03-27T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2026-03-27T16:00:00Z 2026-03-28T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 DP1 drifting snow old snow steady 2026-03-28T16:00:00Z 2026-03-29T16:00:00Z Fresh wind slabs require caution. 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. <br/> <br/> 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. 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. <br/> <br/> 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. Avalanches can be released by a single winter sport participant.
