Avalanche forecast for Saturday 4 April 2026.

Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can still be released in some place by people. Loose snow avalanches on extremely steep slopes.

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 persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Avalanches can in some cases be released in near-surface layers and reach medium size. Avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep west, north and northeast facing slopes between approximately 2200 and 2800 m. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep sunny slopes in high Alpine regions. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. Avalanches can in very isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach large size. In addition small and medium-sized loose snow avalanches are possible, in the event of prolonged bright spells especially on extremely steep slopes.

And now the snowpack:

Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the old snowpack, especially on west, north and northeast facing slopes between approximately 2200 and 2800 m, and on sunny slopes in high Alpine regions. Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals. (--), especially on west, north and east facing slopes at elevated altitudes. The high temperatures will give rise to moistening of the snowpack.

The tendency for Sunday 5 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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