Danger level Monday, 6. 4. 2026 at
Danger level 2 – moderate
Southern Julian Alps, Central Julian Alps, Eastern Julian Alps, Western Julian Alps, Kamnik Alps, Savinja Alps and Koroška, Western Karawanks, Central Karawanks
Wind slab
The main hazards are new and wind-blown snow. Snowpack stability is lower primarily in concave terrain and gullies, where the depth of fresh snow is greater due to snow deposits.
In addition to new snow, weak layers in the snowpack located deeper can pose local problems. Such weak layers are more prevalent on sun-exposed slopes above the forest. Under heavy loading that exceeds the strength of these layers, even medium-sized avalanches can be triggered.
Snowpack
Danger patterns
dp.4: cooling after warm / warming after cold
During the last snowfall, a strong north wind blew, scouring snow to the old base in many places, while creating snow drifts in leeward areas. These sometimes lie on a layer of surface hoar, which represents a potentially dangerous weak layer. Locally, surface hoar layers are 5-10 cm thick, sometimes more.
In the old snowpack, snow layers are mostly well bonded together. Deep below the surface, multiple weak layers of surface hoar and faceted grains occur, more frequent on sun-exposed slopes.
Weather
Monday mostly sunny, with cumulus clouds developing during the day. At 1500 m around 13, at 2000 m around 8 °C. Freezing level above the highest peaks. Wind will ease.
Outlook
Avalanche danger will remain similar, on Monday midday and afternoon we can expect somewhat more spontaneously triggered wet loose snow avalanches.
Tuesday sunny and warm.

Snowpack
Danger patterns
dp.4: cooling after warm / warming after cold
During the last snowfall, a strong wind from northern directions blew above the treeline, scouring snow to the old snow base or ground in many places, while building snow drifts in leeward areas. These formed partly on a layer of fallen surface hoar, which represents a potentially dangerous weak layer. Locally, surface hoar layers are 5-10 cm thick, sometimes more.
Weather
Monday mostly sunny, with cumulus clouds developing during the day. At 1500 m around 13, at 2000 m around 8 °C. Freezing level above the highest peaks. Wind will ease.
Outlook
Avalanche danger will remain similar.
