As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from westerly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs formed since Friday. Avalanches can in some cases be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These places are easy to recognise. 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the past few hours. As a consequence of a sometimes storm force wind from westerly directions, brittle wind slabs formed. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. The old snowpack is faceted and weak. Hardly any decrease in avalanche danger. As a consequence of low temperatures the snowpack can not consolidate at the weekend. steady 2026-01-04T16:00:00Z 2026-01-05T16:00:00Z 2026-01-04 DP6 2026-01-03T16:00:00Z 2026-01-03T16:00:00Z 2026-01-04T16:00:00Z false Lechtal Alps East Kauner Ridge Verwall Mountains Central Verwall Mountains East Silvretta East Samnaun Mountains Mieming Mountains Lechtal Alps West Kalkkögel Lechtal Alps Central Grieskogel Mountains Serles Ridge Kühtai - Geigen Ridge Sellrain - Alpein Mountains Karwendel Mountains West low treeline all_day moderate treeline all_day wind_slab treeline NE NW N E W all_day poor some 1 slab Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.

Sunny slopes: In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. Some snow has fallen in particular in the north. As a consequence of a sometimes storm force wind from westerly directions, further wind slabs formed. The hard wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones. Steep south facing slopes: The snowpack is well consolidated and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases.

Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Even a small avalanche can sweep snow sport participants along and give rise to falls. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack in particular on wind-protected shady slopes.
