Avalanche forecast for Saturday 18 April 2026.

Individual avalanche prone locations for wet avalanches are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes.

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

later in the day, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

As the day progresses the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase. In the regions where the outgoing longwave radiation during the night is reduced the danger will increase earlier. As the penetration by moisture increases individual wet slab avalanches are possible as the day progresses. This applies in particular in case of releases originating from high-altitude shady starting zones that have retained the snow thus far, especially between approximately 2200 and 2600 m. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Avalanches can release the wet snowpack. This extends the avalanche runout distances.

And now the snowpack:

During the night the weather will be partly cloudy in some regions. This applies in particular in the east. The snowpack is wet and its surface has a melt-freeze crust. The surface of the snowpack will soften quickly. In particular on steep sunny slopes as well as below approximately 1800 m only a little snow is now lying.

The tendency for Sunday 19 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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