Avalanche forecast for Monday 13 April 2026.

As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase.

all day it applies above 2200 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three.

all day, below 2200 meter, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, all day, above 2200 meter, we have a new snow problem. This in all aspects.

As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase in particular below approximately 2200 m, especially on steep west, north and east facing slopes. In these regions natural avalanches are to be expected, even large ones in isolated cases. In addition the fresh wind slabs in high Alpine regions are capable of being triggered in some cases, in particular on near-ridge slopes. The avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Such avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable.

And now the snowpack:

Below approximately 1800 m only a little snow is lying. At higher altitudes there are 30 to 80 cm of snow, and even as much as 150 cm in some localities. The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. Up to 2200 m rain will fall. The rain will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack especially on steep shady slopes. 20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 2200 m. As a consequence of a strong wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs will form in high Alpine regions. Steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m: Large-grained weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack.

The tendency for Tuesday 14 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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