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.
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 tendency for Wednesday 1 April 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.
Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
