Danger level Tuesday, 21 April 2026 at
Danger level 1 – low
Southern Julian Alps, Central Julian Alps, Eastern Julian Alps, Western Julian Alps, Kamnik Alps, Savinja Alps and Carinthia, Western Karawanks, Central Karawanks
With cooling, the avalanche danger will decrease
The old snow cover is mostly well transformed, bonded, and stable. The danger of wet snow slab release has decreased. Exceptions are individual high-altitude areas above around 2000 m, where some new snow fell in recent days. This snow can become slightly wet, especially on sun-exposed slopes during the day, and less stable. Release of small wet snow slabs is possible.
Snow cover
Danger patterns
dp.10: spring conditions
With clearing skies, the snow cover will freeze better overnight. During the day, snow in the mid-mountains and on more sun-exposed high-altitude locations will become somewhat wet. The zero-degree isotherm will be at around 1800 m above sea level.
On Sunday and Monday, 5 to 10 cm of new snow fell above around 2000 m. Precipitation during showers was uneven.
Sun-exposed slopes are already quite bare even in the high mountains.
In the old snow cover, snow layers are mostly well bonded. Individual weak layers of graupel and faceted grains appear more or less deep below the surface, more frequent on shady slopes above 1800 m.
Weather
On Tuesday morning, it will be mostly clear at first. During the day, variable cloudiness will develop, with summits occasionally in fog. Short-lived showers will occur, including snow above around 1500 m. A weak to moderate northerly wind will blow. Temperature at 1500 m around 2 °C, at 2500 m around -6 °C.
Outlook
On Wednesday, it will be clear at first, with some variable high cloudiness developing during the day. Slightly colder. Temperature at 1500 m around 0 °C, at 2500 m around -8 °C. Mostly moderate northerly wind.
The snow cover will remain quite hard and frozen. Avalanche danger will decrease slightly further, but gliding danger will increase.
