Persistent Snowpack layer in which the crystals are poorly bonded and the layer has the potential to fail. Typical crystals in dry weak layers causing avalanches are : precipitation particles; surface hoar; faceted crystals; hollow crystals; graupel. Generally >1mm in size, loose grains with few bonds Wet weak layers can be formed by all snow crystal/grain types.EAWS glossary are very challenging to recognise. Distinctive noise (resembling a “whumpf” sound) occurring when a weak layer beneath a slab collapses. The air of the weak layer is forced outside the snowpack, with the resulting whumpf sound being heard. The sound usually indicates an unstable situation and can be accompanied by surface cracking. A whumpf is a clear avalanche alert.EAWS glossary sounds and shooting cracks are typical when present, but you can have a serious weak layer with no warning signs at the surface. Knowledge of how the Snow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary has evolved is essential. SLF's travel advice is direct: travel conservatively, avoid terrain where the consequences of being caught are large, and treat the history of weather and snow as more important than what you can see today.

Avalanche Activity

The snow sport conditions outside marked and open pistes are precarious. The avalanche danger is within the uppermost range of danger level 3 (considerable).

Avalanches can in many places be released in the Snow layers deposited from earlier precipitation, prior to fresh fallen snow. Old snow layers consist of metamorphosed snow crystals.EAWS glossary. In isolated cases these are large and can be released easily even by a single winter sport participant. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of avalanches being released will increase. Caution is to be exercised in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1800 m. Remotely triggered avalanches are probable. Individual natural avalanches are still not ruled out. The Locations delineated by aspect or altitude where avalanches can trigger and people or objects are at risk.EAWS glossary are prevalent and are barely recognisable. Distinctive noise (resembling a “whumpf” sound) occurring when a weak layer beneath a slab collapses. The air of the weak layer is forced outside the snowpack, with the resulting whumpf sound being heard. The sound usually indicates an unstable situation and can be accompanied by surface cracking. A whumpf is a clear avalanche alert.EAWS glossary sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the Snow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary are a clear indication of a weakly bonded snowpack. Mostly small loose snow avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Individual gliding avalanches can also occur.

Outlook

Constant avalanche danger

7 February 2026

Avalanches can as before be released, even by a single winter sport participant. The snowpack remains prone to triggering.

Snowpack & Weather

Snowpack
In some localities up to 50 cm of snow has fallen since Tuesday. Some snow will fall. The new snow is lying on top of a weakly bonded Snow layers deposited from earlier precipitation, prior to fresh fallen snow. Old snow layers consist of metamorphosed snow crystals.EAWS glossary in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1800 m. Distinct Snowpack layer in which the crystals are poorly bonded and the layer has the potential to fail.
