Avalanche forecast for Monday 13 April 2026.

A dangerous avalanche situation will prevail. Wet snow represents the main danger.

all day it applies above 2500 meter considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below high avalanche danger, so danger level four.

all day, below 2500 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above 2500 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above 2800 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

Attention, a special warning: As a consequence of the rain natural wet avalanches are to be expected.

As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase in particular below approximately 2500 m, especially on steep west, north and east facing slopes. In these regions natural avalanches are to be expected, even large ones. Dry and wet avalanches can additionally in some places be released, even by a single winter sport participant. This applies on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2500 m. Avalanches can be triggered in deep layers and reach large size. In addition the fresh wind slabs in high Alpine regions are capable of being triggered in some cases, in particular on near-ridge shady slopes.

And now the snowpack:

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 2500 m rain will fall. The rain will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack especially on steep shady slopes. 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 2500 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 2500 m: Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the old snowpack. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack.

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

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