Avalanche forecast for Wednesday 4 February 2026.

Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution.

all day it applies above 1800 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 1800 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow by a single winter sport participant. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1800 m. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. In addition the mostly small wind slabs in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain are prone to triggering. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.

And now the snowpack:

Less snow than expected has fallen in some regions. 5 to 10 cm of snow will fall. The snowpack is unfavourably layered. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1800 m. As a consequence of a gusty southerly wind, soft wind slabs formed. These are lying on surface hoar in particular on wind-protected shady slopes.

The tendency for Thursday 5 February 2026 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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