The avalanche prone locations are adjacent to ridgelines and far from ridgelines. They are mainly located in steep gullies and behind terrain edges. Take particular care in the transition from a little to a lot of snow. Avalanche prone locations can be covered by fresh pillows of wind drifted snow. Defensive behaviour is recommended for winter sports in open terrain. From Wednesday evening to Saturday morning, 30 to 50 cm of new fallen snow above around 1400 m fell under the influence of strong winds. The snow was transported into gullies and bowls by the stormy north to north-westerly winds. As a result, snowdrift accumulations have formed, some of which are not to be underestimated. There are weak layers within the drift snow packs and in the transition to the old snowpack. Fresh snowdrift accumulations are deposited above the tree line on top of the already prone to triggering snow packs. The risk of avalanches remains considerable at higher altitudes.

The snowfall level is between the valleys and around 800 metres above sea level. Amounts of new snow of up to 10 cm are expected. Snowboards can easily be triggered! The avalanche danger is assessed as considerable (level 3) above 1500 metres. The extensive snowdrift accumulations are prone to triggering, especially above the tree line. The main problem is wind slab. The avalanche prone locations are adjacent to ridgelines and far from ridgelines. They are mainly located in gullies, bowls and behind terrain edges. The layer of drifting snow can be triggered by individual winter sports enthusiasts as a medium-sized avalanche. Loose snow avalanches are also possible in isolated cases. The cold temperatures at high altitude are preserving the snow layering. A lot of snow has been transported in the last few days. More snow will also fall on Sunday! The eastern and southern aspects are particularly affected. The wind slab has not yet been able to settle. The snowdrift accumulations are deposited above the tree line on a partly still weak old snowpack. Weak layers are in the bound layer or transition to the old snow, in higher elevations in places still in the persistent weak layer (faceted crystals in the area of crusts). The wind slab problem will persist. With a northerly high-altitude current, it will remain cloudy and often snowy along the northern side of the Alps throughout Holy Week.

At higher altitudes, the wind will again be gale-force from west to north with wind speeds of between 50 and 90 km/h. Beware of prone to triggering wind slabs! Avalanche prone locations are sometimes difficult to recognise due to new fallen snow! Above 1200 metres there is a considerable avalanche risk (level 3). The stormy winds have created prone-to-triggering snowdrift accumulations in almost all aspects, which can be triggered by individual winter sports enthusiasts in some places as medium-sized, occasionally also as large slab avalanches. The avalanche prone locations are mainly in gullies, bowls and behind terrain edges. Take particular care in the transition from a little to a lot of snow. A few centimetres of new fallen snow and fresh pillows of wind drifted snow can cover the avalanche prone locations and make them difficult to see. Defensive behaviour is recommended for winter sports in open terrain. From Wednesday evening to Saturday morning, 30 to 70 cm of new fallen snow fell under the influence of strong winds, resulting in large differences in snow depth. Weak layers can be found within the drift snow packs and in the transition to the mostly hardness of the old snowpack. In deep layers in northern aspects, there are still faceted crystals or floating snow in the old snowpack, but these are already interspersed with melt-freeze crusts and can hardly be disturbed. There is a little less snow at low altitudes, especially on sunny slopes. In the lower layers, the snow is moist due to the warm ground and can start to glide on very steep grass mats. The risk of avalanches remains considerable at higher altitudes. With a northerly high-altitude current, dense clouds will accumulate along the northern side of the Alps for almost the entire Holy Week, with frequent snowfall.

The avalanche risk is moderate from the tree line upwards. Due to the drift snow problem, there are still localised avalanche prone locations in steep terrain where slab avalanches can be triggered by even a small additional load. They are mainly adjacent to ridgelines, sometimes distant from ridgelines, at terrain transitions and in filled-in bowls and gullies. Some avalanche prone locations are covered and therefore difficult to recognise. Medium avalanches are possible. If deeper weak layers are addressed, they can rarely become large. There is extensive wind slab snow above the tree line, which may still contain weak layers and is not yet sufficiently bonded to the old snowpack in places. However, the snow from the last significant precipitation event (totalling 40 - 80 cm) has at least been able to settle somewhat. Inside, the persistent weak layer is mostly compact, but often moist up to high altitudes. The snow base, fundament is high and partly weakened on shady slopes.

The avalanche prone locations are adjacent to ridgelines as well as distant from ridgelines and in steep gullies and bowls. Loose snow avalanches are possible from steep rocky and rugged terrain. The strong to gale-force winds have worked the new fallen snow (up to 60 cm). The wind slab is usually quite hard. Weak layers are to be expected within the drift snow layer. The old snowpack is mostly hard and close to the ground the snowpack is weakened by floating snow.

No significant change in the avalanche danger is expected. steady 2026-03-29T16:00:00Z 2026-03-30T16:00:00Z 2026-03-29 2026-03-28T16:00:00Z 2026-03-28T16:00:00Z 2026-03-29T16:00:00Z false Semmering - Wechselgebiet Gutensteiner Alpen low all_day A disturbance zone will approach from the west during the night. Clouds will therefore increase again, but it will remain mostly free of precipitation. On Sunday, the mountains will be shrouded in thick clouds for most of the day and it will snow at times. However, the amount of new snow will be very low and limited to a few centimetres. Clear spells will remain the exception. The snowfall level is between 500 and 800 metres. At higher altitudes, the wind will again be gale-force from west to north with peak wind speeds of between 60 and 100 km/h. Partly prone to wind drifted snow at medium altitudes. A few centimetres of new fallen snow will be added locally on Sunday, but this will mostly be blown away by the wind. Pillows of wind drifted snow are prone to triggering at medium altitudes. From Wednesday evening to Saturday morning, 10 to 40 cm of new fallen snow fell on warm, porous ground in the Gutenstein Alps. On the Hochwechsel and in the Bucklige Welt, the amount of fresh snow was significantly lower at 5 to 20 cm. The strong winds caused drift snow packs to form at higher elevations, which were partially covered by a few centimetres of new fallen snow on Sunday. The avalanche risk is not expected to increase. With a northerly high-altitude current, dense clouds will accumulate along the northern side of the Alps for almost the entire Holy Week, but the amount of new snow will be mostly low. The north to north-westerly winds will also remain brisk to stormy. steady 2026-03-29T16:00:00Z 2026-03-30T16:00:00Z 2026-03-29 Caution: ongoing dangerous avalanche situation at high altitudes
