South of the main Alpine ridge, the clouds will be more persistent, the mountains will be repeatedly covered in fog and there will still be snow showers. The wind will blow moderately to briskly from east to south-east. The temperature at 2000 metres above sea level will be around -3 degrees in the west and -5 in the east of the Styrian mountains. Moderate avalanche danger at high altitudes! The avalanche risk is moderate above around 1900 metres and low below. Avalanche prone locations are steep, shady areas adjacent to ridgelines, behind terrain edges and in entrances to gullies and bowls. Here, medium-sized slab avalanches can be triggered by individuals, especially at the transition from little to much snow. The snow base, fundament is largely stable, but in shady areas at high altitudes, floating snow continues to weaken the snow layering. Older wind slabs can be found on the surface in places. Saturday will bring clouds with some new fallen snow. The avalanche danger will hardly change. decreasing 2026-03-23T16:00:00Z 2026-03-24T16:00:00Z 2026-03-23 2026-03-22T16:00:00Z 2026-03-22T16:00:00Z 2026-03-23T16:00:00Z false Rätikon East Silvretta West Rätikon West Lechquellen Mountains Lechtal Alps Vorarlberg Allgäu Alps West Verwall West low 2200 all_day moderate 2200 all_day wind_slab 2200 NW NE N all_day slab persistent_weak_layers 2200 NW E NE W N all_day slab Following a night of cloudy skies, moist air masses from the north will accumulate in the form of low-lying and intermediate cloud cover extending as far as the Main Alpine Ridge. Intermittent light, minor snowfall is possible from these clouds, snowfall level 800-1300m. Temperature at 2000m: -2 degrees; at 3000m: -8 degrees. Predominantly light to moderate-strength northerly winds at high altitudes. Fresh snowdrifts on north-facing slopes prone to triggering Freshly generated and, in places, older snowdrifts are frequently still prone to triggering, can be triggered as small-to-medium sized slab avalanches. Danger zones occur primarily on steep ridgeline north-facing slopes, behind steep drops in the terrain and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. Frequency and spread of avalanche prone locations increase with ascending altitude, in high alpine regions they include west, east-facing slopes as well. If avalanches on high-altitude shady slopes fracture down to deeper weak layers, they can in isolated cases then grow to medium size. Such isolated avalanche prone locations occur in spots where the snow is shallow or in transitions from shallow to deep snow. Fresh snowdrift accumulations from yesterday lie atop an unfavorable old snowpack surface on north-facing slopes. They are mostly small-sized and shallow, apart from high alpine regions, but will be difficult to recognize on Monday. Somewhat deeper snowdrifsts were generated particularly at high altitudes. On steep south-facing slopes there is often a melt-freeze crust capable of bearing loads. The mid-level part of the snowpack consists of well-settled, compact layers widespread which on high-altitude shady slopes cover a poorly structured old snowpack fundament. Avalanche danger not expected to change significantly until Wednesday, due to high-pressure weather conditions. steady 2026-03-23T16:00:00Z 2026-03-24T16:00:00Z 2026-03-23 2026-03-22T16:00:00Z 2026-03-22T16:00:00Z 2026-03-23T16:00:00Z false Southern Julian Alps Central Julian Alps Eastern Julian Alps Western Julian Alps Kamnik Alps Savinja Alps and Carinthia Western Karawanks Central Karawanks low 1600 all_day moderate 1600 all_day wind_slab 1600 SE W SW S all_day slab persistent_weak_layers 1800 NW NE N all_day slab Sunday will be mostly cloudy and foggy in the High alpine regions. There will be occasional snow showers. Winds will be mainly light to moderate from easterly directions. Temperatures will be around -2 °C at 1500 m and -8 °C at 2500 m. Freshly blown snow Snowfall in the mountains has ranged from 5 to 20 cm in recent days, with slightly more in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and the Karavanke Mountains. At the same time, a strong north-easterly wind has been blowing, carrying fresh snow and building up new snow layers in the south and west. The new fallen snow was less able to adhere to the older snow base. The danger is higher especially on slopes and in gullies where the height of the New fallen snow is greater due to the snow layering. In addition to new fallen snow, weak layers in the snowpack deeper in the snowpack can be a problem in places. These weak layers are more prevalent in the axis above the forest. In particular, a large avalanche can be triggered if the load exceeds the load-bearing capacity of these layers. As the weather cooled, the older snow base froze. Dry and light snow, carried by the wind, has fallen on harder ground. During the snowfall, the local fall of Graupel, which can form a new weak layer, has also occurred. Due to the influence of the sun, the snow on the Sunny slopes has already become black and froze during the night. On Sunday, due to increased cloud cover, the snow will be mostly absent, with the exception of lower elevations. In the old snow cover, the layers of snow are mostly well connected, with a Crust on top that can mostly support the weight of a pedestrian. Deep below the surface, there are several weak layers of shreds and truncated grains. Monday will be moderately cloudy with occasional sunny spells. Some variable cloud during the day, with some snow showers not ruled out. It will be slightly warmer. The danger of avalanches will remain similar. steady 2026-03-23T16:00:00Z 2026-03-24T16:00:00Z 2026-03-23 DP4 2026-03-22T16:00:00Z 2026-03-22T16:00:00Z 2026-03-23T16:00:00Z false Werdenfels Alps Berchtesgaden Alps Allgäu Alps Central low 2200 all_day moderate 2200 all_day persistent_weak_layers 2200 NW NE N all_day slab Be careful, especially on shady slopes and extremely steep terrain! The avalanche risk is moderate above 2200 metres and low below that. Persistent weak layers are problematic. Avalanche prone locations are in very steep terrain with aspects from north-west to north to north-east. Small slab avalanches can occasionally be triggered there with little additional load. In rare cases, snow slabs can be triggered with a large additional load, for example by a small, superficial avalanche, in deep-lying weak layers and then reach medium size. When exposed to sunlight, small, wet loose snow avalanches can be triggered from extremely steep terrain. At higher altitudes (above 1500 m), weak layers can be found under older wind slabs on shady slopes in some places. At high altitudes, layers of large, gritty crystals are preserved deep in the compact old snowpack. These layers usually consist of rounded, angular grain shapes. On the northern sides of higher elevations, the snow is still powdery on the surface in areas sheltered from the wind. Overall, there is little snow, while the south-facing slopes are becoming more and more pale.

Danger areas are easily recognisable, they are located behind terrain edges and in steep gullies and bowls. Avalanches can reach medium size and occasionally become large if they tear through the persistent weak layer. Above 2000 m, in the aspects from west to north to east, medium and occasionally large, dry slab avalanches can still be triggered in the persistent weak layer in a few places with little additional load. Although such avalanche prone locations are rare, they are not recognisable in the terrain. Be especially careful at the transitions from little to more snow. During the daytime changes, small wet loose snow slides can be triggered from extremely steep, sunny terrain. Fresh and older wind slab snow is still prone to triggering in places (on shady slopes, in high alpine locations also on sunny slopes). Faceted crystals on a crust serve as a weak layer near the surface below the wind slab. Faceted crystals on crusts can also be found deeper in the snowpack; near the ground, the snowpack consists of angular, cup-shaped crystals.
