Danger level Monday, 9. 2. 2026 at
Danger level 3 – considerable
Fresh and wind-blown snow in high mountains.
In the mountains, a significant amount of new snow fell during the last snow episode. Below an altitude of around 1800 m, wetter snow fell, even lower it was partly snowing and partly raining. More dangerous are spots where south winds built larger snow drifts. At these spots, slabs can be triggered even with minor loading. In shady locations, a weak layer is present deep in the snowpack, which can pose a hazard, especially on sun-exposed slopes.
Snow cover
Hazard patterns
dp.1: deep hard weak layer
dp.4: cooling after warmth / warming after cold
During the last two-day snow episode, a lot of new snow fell in the high mountains, and a little more new snow fell over the weekend. Below around 1800 m, the snow is wet throughout the snowpack and already quite well bonded. Higher up, the snow is drier and lighter. South winds have built new large drifts on the lee sides of ridges. In the old snowpack, weak layers are present deep below the surface, which can be a problem in the high mountains on sun-exposed slopes.
The snow cover in the high mountains is transforming only slowly, somewhat more so in the mid-mountains.
Weather
Mostly cloudy and foggy, only the highest peaks will initially be above the clouds. Light snow occasionally in places. Weak east winds in the mid-mountains, but a southwest wind will start to strengthen over the highest peaks during the day. Temperature at 1500 m around -1 °C, at 2500 m around -6 °C.
Outlook
At the beginning of the week, predominantly cloudy weather with occasional precipitation will continue, with high mountain peaks occasionally rising above the cloud layer.
Danger level Monday, 9. 2. 2026 at
Danger level 1 – low
More new snow in the highest parts of the mid-mountains
In the mountains, during the last two-day snow episode above around 1500 m, a significant amount of new snow fell. Lower down, it was partly snowing (wetter snow) and partly raining. South and southeast winds built snow drifts on ridges and peaks.
Snow cover
On the old snow cover, which was mostly thin, 50-60 cm of new snow fell above around 1500 m, locally, especially in the south of the country, even more. The snow is wet throughout the snowpack and already quite well bonded. South and southeast winds built drifts on the lee sides of ridges.
Weather
Mostly cloudy and foggy. Light snow occasionally in places. Weak east winds in the mid-mountains. Temperature at 1500 m around -1 °C, at 2500 m around -6 °C.
Outlook
At the beginning of the week, predominantly cloudy weather with occasional precipitation will continue.
