Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow represent the main danger. The fresh snow and the wind slabs that are forming during the snowfall will be deposited on a weakly bonded old snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Especially here avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow. This applies even in case of a small load. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are covered with new snow and are barely recognisable. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Up to 20 cm of snow has fallen since Saturday. In some regions 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. As a consequence of a moderate wind from southerly directions, further wind slabs will form. These are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. The old snowpack is faceted and weak. This applies especially in shady places that are protected from the wind. The old snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. The current avalanche situation calls for caution and restraint. The new snow and wind slabs remain prone to triggering. steady 2026-01-28T16:00:00Z 2026-01-29T16:00:00Z 2026-01-28 DP5 DP6 2026-01-27T16:00:00Z 2026-01-27T16:00:00Z 2026-01-28T16:00:00Z false Kauner Ridge Tuxer Alps West Tuxer Alps East Glockturm Group Zillertal Alps Northeast Zillertal Alps Northwest Weißkugel Group Gurgler Group Stubai Alps Central Venediger Group South Lasörling Group Kalkkögel Serles Ridge Kühtai - Geigen Ridge Sellrain - Alpein Mountains Upper Ahr Valley Zillertal Alps South Pfitsch Sesvenna Group South Schnals Ridge Sesvenna Group North Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge Pfunderer Mountains West Pfunderer Mountains East Ratschings Durreck Range Langtaufers Rieserferner Mountains Stubai Alps South Ortler Range Ulten Valley Planeil Mountains Upper Passeier Valley Texel Mountains low 2000 all_day considerable 2000 all_day persistent_weak_layers 2000 NE N W NW E all_day poor many 2 slab Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow represent the main danger.

A precarious avalanche situation will prevail. As the day progresses as a consequence of new snow and wind there will be an increase in the avalanche danger. The fresh snow and the wind slabs that are forming during the snowfall will be deposited on a weakly bonded old snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. This also applies in isolated cases on south facing slopes at elevated altitudes. Especially here avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow. This applies even in case of a small load. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. With the onset of the snowfall, the natural avalanche activity will increase. The avalanche prone locations are widespread and are barely recognisable. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found also in areas close to the tree line. Natural avalanches and whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. The current avalanche situation calls for caution and restraint. Up to 40 cm of snow has fallen since Saturday. 25 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. As a consequence of a gusty wind from southerly directions, further wind slabs will form. These are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack above the tree line. The old snowpack is faceted and weak. This applies especially in shady places that are protected from the wind. The old snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.
