Avalanche forecast for Wednesday 22 April 2026.

Slight increase in danger of wet avalanches in the course of the day.

earlier in the day it applies above 2500 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one. later in the day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

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

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. Wet avalanches can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies on very steep shady slopes below approximately 2500 m, as well as on very steep sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady 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 at times. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to rapid softening of the snowpack at intermediate and high altitudes. Shady slopes above approximately 2500 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack at elevated altitudes. On steep sunny slopes as well as below approximately 1800 m hardly any snow is lying.

The tendency for Thursday 23 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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