Avalanche forecast

Danger level Sunday, 15. 3. 2026 at
Danger level 2 – moderate
Eastern Julian Alps, Kamnik Alps, Savinja Alps and Carinthia, Western Karawanks, Central Karawanks
Weak layers persist deep in the snowpack
The problem is weak layers in the snowpack located deeper in the snowpack. There are more such weak layers on slopes above the forest. With a large load exceeding the load-bearing capacity of these layers, even a larger avalanche can be triggered. During the day, small avalanches or wet snow sluffs may occur on sun-exposed slopes.
Snowpack
Danger patterns
dp.1: deep hard slab weak layer
On the surface in the high mountains there is a crust present, snow layers are mostly well bonded together. The crust holds a skier's weight. In the old snowpack, several weak layers of facets and rounded grains appear deep below the surface. On Saturday it snowed lightly, up to 5 cm of new snow fell.
Weather
Variable to mostly cloudy, occasionally foggy. Possible showers. Mostly light southeast wind blowing. At midday, temperature at 1500 m around 3 °C, at 2500 m -5 °C.
Outlook
On Monday it will start snowing. Snowfall limit around 1700 m, 20-30 cm of new snow possible. Avalanche danger will increase.
Danger level Sunday, 15. 3. 2026 at
Danger level 2 – moderate
Southern Julian Alps, Central Julian Alps, Western Julian Alps
Some new snow, weak layers persist deep in the snowpack
Since Friday above about 1600 m elevation, 10-20 cm of new snow has fallen. It snowed with moderate southwest wind, which built small snow drifts on leeward sides. In addition to new snow, weak layers in the snowpack located deeper represent a problem. There are more such weak layers on slopes above the forest. With a large load exceeding the load-bearing capacity of these layers, even a larger avalanche can be triggered.

dp.1: deep hard slab weak layer
In the old snowpack, snow layers are mostly well bonded together, with a crust on top. Several weak layers of facets and rounded grains appear deep below the surface. During the last snowfall above about 1600 m elevation, 10-20 cm of new snow fell on the old snowpack.
Weather
Variable to mostly cloudy, occasionally foggy. Possible showers. Mostly light southeast wind blowing. At midday, temperature at 1500 m around 3 °C, at 2500 m -5 °C.
