Avalanche forecast

Danger level Wednesday, 11. 2. 2026 at
Danger level 3 – considerable
New and wind-packed snow in the high mountains, weak layers persist.
Even with a small additional load, a small slab avalanche can be triggered on wind-packed snow deposits. A triggered slab avalanche or otherwise large additional load can exceed the load-bearing capacity of deep hard crust layers, potentially triggering a deep and extensive (large) slab avalanche. There are many such weak layers especially on shady slopes above the forest, but they are not excluded elsewhere. Gliding avalanches also occur on steep smooth slopes.
Snow cover
Danger patterns
dp.1: deep hard slab weak layer
dp.4: cooling after warmth / warming after cold
At slightly higher air temperatures, the snow cover transforms and settles faster. Snow has crusted on sun-exposed slopes up to the highest peaks, remaining dry only on shady slopes in the high mountains.
The snow cover is built of layers of somewhat cohesive snow, which are mostly well bonded together. The bonding of wind-packed snow layers in deposits is poorer, built by the south wind during snowfall.
In the old snow cover, deep below the surface, there are several weak layers of facets and rounded grains.
Weather
Wind will strengthen overnight into Wednesday, orographic precipitation will intensify. Especially in the southern Julian Alps, up to 20 cm of snow may fall, elsewhere just a trace. On Wednesday it will be slightly warmer, in the afternoon the zero isotherm will be almost at 2000 m.
Outlook
Avalanche danger will remain similar.

Danger level 2 – moderate
Wind-packed snow, gliding avalanches.
Even with a small additional load, a small slab avalanche can be triggered on wind-packed snow deposits. Gliding avalanches also occur on steep smooth slopes.
Snow cover
At slightly higher air temperatures, the snow cover transforms and settles faster. Snow has crusted up to the highest peaks - also on shady slopes.
The snow cover is built of layers of somewhat cohesive snow, which are mostly well bonded together. The bonding of wind-packed snow layers in deposits is poorer, built by the south wind during snowfall.
At the interface between the snow cover and the ground, depth hoar has formed.
Weather
Wind will strengthen overnight into Wednesday, orographic precipitation will intensify. Especially in the southern Julian Alps, up to 20 cm of snow may fall, elsewhere just a trace. On Wednesday it will be slightly warmer, in the afternoon the zero isotherm will be almost at 2000 m.
Outlook
Avalanche danger will remain similar.
Danger level Wednesday, 11. 2. 2026 at
Danger level 1 – low
Wind-packed snow
With additional load on deposits built by the S-SE wind, a small slab snow avalanche can be triggered.
Snow cover
The snow cover is moist throughout its depth and already well bonded. South and southeast winds have built deposits on the lee sides of ridges.
Weather
Wind will strengthen overnight into Wednesday, orographic precipitation will intensify. Up to 20 cm of snow may fall. On Wednesday it will be slightly warmer, in the afternoon the zero isotherm will be almost at 2000 m.
Outlook
Avalanche danger will remain similar.
