Avalanche forecast for Wednesday 15 April 2026.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already exist in the early morning. Increase in danger in the course of the day.

earlier in the day it applies above 2500 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three. later in the day it applies above 3000 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three.

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

Moist and wet avalanches can be released by people, especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes below approximately 2500 m. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of wet avalanches. Individual natural avalanches are possible. Especially on steep shady slopes avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow and reach large size in isolated cases. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. Such avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable. In addition the fresh wind slabs are prone to triggering in some cases, in the regions exposed to a lot of new snow especially on steep shady slopes. On extremely steep sunny slopes small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist loose snow avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation, in the regions exposed to a lot of new snow especially.

And now the snowpack:

The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack below approximately 3000 m. The high humditiy will give rise in the afternoon to a loss of strength within the snowpack also on steep shady slopes. Steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2500 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack.

The tendency for Thursday 16 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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