Wind slabs represent the main danger. As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from northwesterly directions, wind slabs will form in the course of the day. These are mostly small. The fresh and older wind slabs can be released easily in many places. <br/> <br/> The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on southwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2200 m and on steep south facing slopes above approximately 2400 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. <br/> Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. 5 to 15 cm of snow will fall. The wind will be strong. <br/> <br/> Fresh and older wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. The old snowpack is faceted and its surface has a crust that is barely capable of bearing a load. <br/> <br/> The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones. Further increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. 2026-01-07T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2026-01-07T16:00:00Z 2026-01-08T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 drifting snow increasing 2026-01-08T16:00:00Z 2026-01-09T16:00:00Z Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and strong wind.

As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from northwesterly directions, wind slabs will form in the course of the day. These are small but can in some cases be released easily. <br/> <br/> The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines. <br/> Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

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. Some snow will fall. The wind will be strong. <br/> The hard wind slabs are lying on soft layers at elevated altitudes. <br/> <br/> The old snowpack is faceted and its surface has a crust that is barely capable of bearing a load. Very steep south facing slopes: The old snowpack is faceted and its surface has a 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. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
