Avalanche forecast for Saturday 28 March 2026.

Fresh wind slabs are to be avoided.

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 1900 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases 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. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. In very 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 1900 m. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable.

And now the snowpack:

In some regions 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, sometimes 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 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!
