The fresh wind slabs can be released even by a single winter sport participant in particular on northwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 1600 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly avalanches are small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. <br/> <br/> 2 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. 2 to 5 cm of snow will fall during the night. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on shady slopes above approximately 1600 m. <br/> <br/> The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals; its surface is loosely bonded and consists of surface hoar and faceted crystals. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones. Wind slabs require caution. 2026-01-06T16:00:00Z Lawinenwarndienst.ktn.gv 2026-01-06T16:00:00Z 2026-01-07T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 steady 2026-01-07T16:00:00Z 2026-01-08T16:00:00Z Wind slabs - Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The somewhat older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly avalanches are only small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. <br/> <br/> Sunny slopes: In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. The hard wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. <br/> <br/> Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. <br/> Steep south facing slopes: The snowpack is well consolidated and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases. <br/> <br/> The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones. Some snow will fall. 2026-01-06T16:00:00Z Lawinenwarndienst.ktn.gv 2026-01-06T16:00:00Z 2026-01-07T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 steady 2026-01-07T16:00:00Z 2026-01-08T16:00:00Z Wind slabs require caution.

The older wind slabs can be released in some cases in particular on northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2600 m. Mostly avalanches are small. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are a little more prevalent and the danger is slightly greater. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. <br/> <br/> Sunny slopes: In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. Wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on wind-protected northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2600 m. <br/> <br/> Shady slopes: The old snowpack is faceted. <br/> Steep south facing slopes: The snowpack is well consolidated and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases. <br/> <br/> The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones. Gradual increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and strong wind, in particular in the north.
