Avalanche forecast for Wednesday 22 October 2025.
Ski touring is to be restricted to controlled terrain as far as possible.
earlier in the day it applies above the treeline low avalanche danger, so danger level one, below moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.
later in the day it applies above 2400 meter low avalanche danger, so danger level one, below considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three.
earlier in the day, below the treeline, we have a new snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West.
Furthermore, later in the day, below 2400 meter, we have a gliding snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West.
The new snow of the last two days represents the main danger. This snow can be released easily or naturally in all aspects above the tree line. The new snow can be released by a single winter sport participant especially on west to north to south facing aspects above the tree line. Over a wide area 50 cm of snow, and up to 70 cm in some localities, will fall until the early morning above approximately 1800 m. In particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation numerous medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large slab avalanches are to be expected as the snowfall becomes more intense. As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes storm force wind, sometimes large wind slabs will form in the course of the day in all aspects. The off-piste conditions are dangerous. Temporary safety measures may be necessary.
And now the snowpack:
As a consequence of sharply rising temperatures and rain up to high altitudes a critical avalanche situation will develop. The old snowpack is faceted and weak. The rain will give rise to extreme and thorough wetting of the snowpack in all aspects below approximately 2400 m. These conditions will cause a very rapid weakening of the snowpack.
Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
