Avalanche forecast for Saturday 2 May 2026.

Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. Wet snow is to be evaluated critically.

earlier in the day it applies low avalanche danger, so danger level one. later in the day it applies above 2600 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

earlier in the day, above 2800 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East. Furthermore, later in the day, above 2600 meter, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, later in the day, above 2800 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 there will be a gradual increase in the avalanche danger. On very steep slopes the moist avalanches can be released naturally and reach medium size in isolated cases. As a consequence of new snow and wind, wind slabs formed in the last few days at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. Avalanches can be released, mostly by large loads and reach medium size.

And now the snowpack:

Below approximately 2500 m a little snow is lying. The spring-like weather conditions will give rise to rapid moistening of the snowpack. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften quickly. Steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2500 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack.

The tendency for Sunday 3 May 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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