Update of the avalanche forecast for Tuesday 31 March 2026.

Increase in avalanche danger as the snowfall becomes more intense.

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

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.

The large quantity of fresh snow and the extensive wind slabs can be released easily, or, in isolated cases naturally above the tree line. The fresh and older wind slabs will be covered with new snow and therefore difficult to recognise. Avalanches can reach medium size. Avalanches can in isolated 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. In addition small to medium-sized loose snow avalanches are possible, in particular on extremely steep slopes.

And now the snowpack:

Over a wide area 30 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The wind will be strong at times. Further wind slabs will form. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly together. 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.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind, dp.1: deep persistent weak layer.

The tendency for Wednesday 1 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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