Avalanche forecast for Friday 3 April 2026.

Wind slabs represent the main danger. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

all day it applies above 2200 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

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

The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In some cases avalanches are medium-sized. Shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. Additionally in isolated cases avalanches can penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach large size, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, and on south facing slopes at elevated altitudes. Loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small. In the event of solar radiation this applies in particular on extremely steep slopes.

And now the snowpack:

The gusty wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly together. The old snowpack will be weakly bonded in some places, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, and on south facing slopes at elevated altitudes.

The tendency for Saturday 4 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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