The conditions are treacherous for backcountry touring. Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow very easily. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line, in isolated cases also on south facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. <br/> <br/> The avalanche prone locations are widespread and are barely recognisable. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. The large quantity of fresh snow of last week and the extensive wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. The old snowpack is faceted. <br/> <br/> Distinct weak layers exist in the snowpack. Avalanches can as before be released, even by a single winter sport participant. The snowpack remains prone to triggering. 2026-01-31T16:27:54Z Lawinenwarndienst.ktn.gv 2026-01-31T16:00:00Z 2026-02-01T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 3 1 DP5 DP6 old snow steady 2026-02-01T16:00:00Z 2026-02-02T16:00:00Z An unfavourable avalanche situation will be encountered in some regions. Defensive route selection is required. Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow, even by a single winter sport participant. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. <br/> <br/> The avalanche prone locations are numerous and are barely recognisable. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found also in areas close to the tree line. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.

The snowpack remains prone to triggering at elevated altitudes. 2026-01-31T16:27:54Z Lawinenwarndienst.ktn.gv 2026-01-31T16:00:00Z 2026-02-01T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP5 DP6 old snow steady 2026-02-01T16:00:00Z 2026-02-02T16:00:00Z Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow by a single winter sport participant. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. <br/> <br/> The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.

In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. <br/> <br/> Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.

Hardly any decrease in avalanche danger.
