Avalanche forecast for Sunday 12 April 2026.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will increase quickly in the early morning.

earlier in the day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two. later in the day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

earlier in the day, below 2400 meter, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, earlier in the day, above 2400 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, later in the day, below 3000 meter, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, later in the 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 be elevated in the early morning. In the late morning as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the danger within the current danger level. Avalanches can penetrate deep layers and reach medium size. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2400 m, as well as on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable.

And now the snowpack:

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will already soften in the late morning. The snowpack will become increasingly wet all the way through. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2400 m, as well as on steep sunny slopes at high altitude. Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes at high altitude, as well as in all aspects in high Alpine regions. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. On steep sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying.

The tendency for Monday 13 April 2026 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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