Avalanche forecast for Monday 6 April 2026.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already increase in the late morning. Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can be released in some places by people.

all day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

all day, above 2200 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, below 2600 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already be elevated in the early morning. This applies in all aspects at low and intermediate altitudes. High altitudes: As the day progresses the likelihood of dry and wet avalanches being released will increase. In the event of prolonged bright spells this applies in particular. Avalanches can in particular be released in near-surface layers and reach medium size. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes between approximately 2200 and 2800 m. 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 isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach large size.

And now the snowpack:

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The surface of the snowpack will already soften in the late morning. 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, in particular on west, north and east facing slopes at elevated altitudes.

The tendency for Tuesday 7 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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