Avalanche forecast for Friday 10 April 2026.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already exist in the early morning. Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in isolated cases. Fresh wind slabs in high Alpine regions.

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

all day, below 2400 meter, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, all day, above 2400 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already exist in the early morning. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2400 m, and on south facing slopes at elevated altitudes. Avalanches are medium-sized and can be released also by a single winter sport participant. In isolated cases dry avalanches can also be released in the old snowpack. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. These places are difficult to recognise. Avalanches can reach medium size. In addition the fresh wind slabs in high Alpine regions are prone to triggering in some cases, especially adjacent to ridgelines. These are mostly small.

And now the snowpack:

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. The snowpack will be increasingly wet all the way through. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2400 m, and on steep sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the old snowpack. Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Some snow will fall in some regions. This applies at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from northerly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form.

The tendency for Saturday 11 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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