Update of the avalanche forecast for Saturday 29 March 2025.

New snow and weakly bonded old snow are to be assessed with care and prudence.

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

all day, above the treeline, we have a new snow problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above 2200 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

The large quantity of fresh snow and the extensive wind slabs can be released easily, even by a single winter sport participant, above the tree line. The wind slabs of the last few days are covered with new snow and therefore barely recognisable. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Avalanches can in some cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach large size, especially on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. In addition gliding avalanches are possible, especially on cut and grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m.

And now the snowpack:

The wind has transported the new snow significantly. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly together. Up to 15 cm of snow will fall. The old snowpack will be weakly bonded in some places, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, and on south facing slopes at elevated altitudes.

The tendency for Sunday 30 March 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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