Update of the avalanche forecast for Wednesday 25 March 2026.

For those venturing off piste a dangerous avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area.

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

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

Attention, a special warning: Natural avalanches are to be expected.

The large quantity of fresh snow and the sometimes large wind slabs that are forming in all aspects can be released easily or naturally above the tree line. Avalanches can be triggered in near-surface layers and reach large size in isolated cases. Additionally in some places avalanches can penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. The danger exists primarily in alpine snow sports terrain. In addition dry loose snow avalanches are possible, especially on extremely steep slopes.

And now the snowpack:

20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the past few hours. 20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the afternoon. The wind will be storm force. The wind will transport the new snow significantly. Deep wind slabs will form. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack above the tree line. The old snowpack will be weakly bonded, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, and on south facing slopes at elevated altitudes.

The tendency for Thursday 26 March 2026 indicates a decreasing avalanche danger.

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