Update of the avalanche forecast for Saturday 4 April 2026.

Wind slabs represent the main danger.

earlier in the day it applies above the treeline moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one. later in the day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

earlier in the day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, later in the day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, later in the day, below 2500 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West.

The more recent wind slabs represent the main danger. Avalanches can penetrate down to the ground and reach medium size. Increase in danger of moist and wet snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

And now the snowpack:

As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind from northerly directions, sometimes large wind slabs formed in the last few days in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The fresh wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in all aspects and generally above the tree line. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack below approximately 2500 m.

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

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