Avalanche forecast for Monday 20 April 2026.

Weakly bonded old snow and wet snow require caution.

all day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

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 North-West to North to North-East.

Slight increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day. Wet avalanches can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. In very isolated cases these can release the weakly bonded old snow as well and reach large size. This applies on very steep shady slopes below approximately 2500 m. Dry avalanches can additionally be released, even by small loads in isolated cases, especially on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2500 m. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise.

And now the snowpack:

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little. Above approximately 1800 m snow will fall in some regions. The snowpack is moist, in particular on sunny slopes in all altitude zones, as well as on west, north and east facing slopes below approximately 2500 m. Steep west, north and east facing slopes: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack at elevated altitudes.

The tendency for Tuesday 21 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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