Update of the avalanche forecast for Wednesday 29 April 2026.

Wet snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence.

all day it applies above 2500 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

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

As a consequence of new snow and wind, wind slabs will form in particular in high Alpine regions. On very steep slopes the moist avalanches can be released naturally and reach medium size in isolated cases. As a consequence of warming there will be an increase in the avalanche danger. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. Avalanches can be released, mostly by large loads and reach medium size. In very isolated cases these can penetrate down to the ground and reach large size.

And now the snowpack:

The spring-like weather conditions will give rise to rapid moistening of the snowpack below approximately 2800 m. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften quickly. Some snow will fall in some localities. This applies above approximately 2400 m. Some rain will fall over a wide area. 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 30 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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