Main problem: freshly generated drifts Fresh fallen and frequently covered older snowdrift accumulations are easily triggered. Slab avalanchess can be triggered by minimum additional loading and grow to medium-sized releases. Settling noises when treading the snowpack and fractures on the surface can indicate imminent danger. Danger zones occur in wind-loaded steep terrain, behind sharp drops in the landscape, in gullies and bowls. Particularly in high-altitude west, north and east-facing slopes, avalanches can fracture down to ground-level layers of the snowpack and grow to large size. In very steep terrain, also loose-snow avalanches are possible. Widespread up to 30cm of fresh snow is anticipated, up to 40cm in the Rätikon. Amid intermittently strong winds it will be transported and will generated new snowdrift masses. They are prone to triggering. Fresh snow and drifts often lie deposited atop soft layers of fresh fallen snow from precious days and blanket older drifts.

The snowpack stability is reduced, especially on slopes and in ravines, where the snow thickness is greater due to snow accumulations. In addition to new fallen snow, weak layers in the snowpack deeper in the snowpack can be a local problem. These weak layers are more common 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. 15-30 cm of dry and light snow fell in the mountains. A strong northerly wind blew in with the snow, blowing the snow down to the old base in many places. The new fallen snow is only slowly bonding with the old base. Ridges and peaks are blown down to the old base, in some places there is little old base. During the precipitation more than a week ago, there was some local fall of Graupel, which is a potentially dangerous Weak layer. Locally, the layers of Graupel are 5-10 cm thick, possibly more. In old snow cover, the snow layers are mostly well connected. Deep below the surface, several weak layers of shreds and sheared grains occur, which are more frequent on axial slopes. The danger of avalanches will remain similar. In the coming days, the weather will be changeable with cloudy and partly clear periods, and some showers may occur. More sunshine will be in the west.

Further east, at least isolated snow showers are expected, but it will remain mainly dry towards Wechsel. Pay attention to prone to triggering snow packs! Above 1400 metres there is still a considerable avalanche risk (level 3) Strong to stormy winds have been blowing almost continuously since Wednesday, transporting the fresh new fallen snow. The avalanche prone locations are adjacent to ridgelines and distant from ridgelines in almost all aspects. Particular caution is required in the transition from a little to a lot of snow as well as in gullies, bowls and behind terrain edges. The sometimes thick layers of drifting snow can be triggered by individuals as a medium-sized avalanche. Defensive behaviour is recommended for winter sports in open terrain. In the last few days, up to 50 cm of new fallen snow has fallen under stormy winds and extensive snowdrift accumulations have formed. The new fallen snow forecast for Tuesday will again be accompanied by strong winds, which will further exacerbate the drift snow situation. There are weak layers within the drift snow packs. There are still faceted crystals or floating snow in the old snowpack in shady high areas. However, these are hardly noticeable and do not pose a significant avalanche problem. There is less snow at low altitudes, especially on sunny slopes. The avalanche risk remains considerable at higher altitudes.

Avalanche prone locations in wind slab, in the higher altitudes also in persistent weak layers The avalanche risk is considerable from the sparse high forest upwards and low below. The fresh wind slab is prone to triggering and can be triggered in many places with little additional load; slab avalanches can reach medium size. All aspects and both adjacent to ridgelines and steep terrain far from ridgelines are affected. Drift snow areas are partly covered with snow and are difficult to recognise. At high altitudes (especially on western, northern and eastern slopes), avalanches can also penetrate the persistent weak layer and occasionally become large if there is a large additional load. Last week's new and wind slab snow has settled and has already crusted again on sunny slopes up to over 2000 metres. There is up to 40 cm of new fallen snow in windless areas, while exposed areas are heavily blown and snowdrift accumulations are correspondingly thick. Fractures are possible in particular in the fresh windslab snow, but in some cases also in the old snowpack, in which faceted crystals (sometimes on crusts) and deep frost weaken the structure both near the surface and deeper inside. This mainly affects shady high altitudes and generally high alpine locations. Weakening snowfall and wind lead to a slow improvement. decreasing 2026-03-31T15:00:00Z 2026-04-01T15:00:00Z 2026-03-31 2026-03-30T15:00:00Z 2026-03-30T15:00:00Z 2026-03-31T15:00:00Z false Totes Gebirge South Dachsteingebiet Mürzsteger Alpen Hochschwabgebiet Eisenerzer Alpen Rottenmanner Tauern Schladminger Tauern North Wölzer Tauern North Ennstaler Alpen low 1500 all_day considerable 1500 all_day wind_slab 1500 SW S E W SE NE all_day slab persistent_weak_layers 2000 NW N NE all_day slab It will snow in the northern Alps and from the Schladminger to the Wölzer Tauern during the night and Tuesday with strong winds.

They are mainly located in gullies, bowls and behind terrain edges down to forest aisles. Aspects from east to south to south-west are particularly affected. The drift snow layer can be triggered by individual winter sports enthusiasts, usually in the form of medium-sized avalanches. Naturally triggered avalanches are also possible in isolated cases. A lot of snow has fallen in the last few days. Up to 40 cm of new or wind slab snow will be added on Tuesday. The snowdrift accumulations are deposited on a mostly stable old snowpack.

Medium avalanches are possible. If deeper layers are also affected, they can very rarely become large. Older loads are covered. In places, they could still be disturbed by large additional loads. Only occasionally can avalanches occur spontaneously. 20 - 40 cm of new fallen snow and strong winds from the north-west are expected.

Weakening snowfall and wind lead to a slow improvement. decreasing 2026-03-31T15:00:00Z 2026-04-01T15:00:00Z 2026-03-31 2026-03-30T15:00:00Z 2026-03-30T15:00:00Z 2026-03-31T15:00:00Z false Gaaler Alpen Triebener Tauern Wölzer Tauern South Schladminger Tauern South low treeline all_day moderate treeline all_day wind_slab treeline SW S E SE NE all_day slab persistent_weak_layers 2000 NW N NE all_day slab South of the main Alpine ridge, it will continue to snow heavily in the Niedere Tauern during the night and during the day on Tuesday, mostly directly on the main Alpine ridge (showers spreading from the north). The snowfall level will start at around 600 metres and then drop down to the valleys. The peaks are often in the clouds and visibility is poor. The temperature at 2000 metres above sea level is around -7 degrees. The wind blows strong to gale-force from north-west to north. Fresh wind slab in the high altitudes! The avalanche danger is rated as "moderate" above the tree line. The stormy wind forms fresh wind slabs, which are usually easily recognisable. Above the tree line, the fresh wind slab can easily be triggered as a slab avalanche. Medium-sized avalanches are typically expected. The avalanche prone locations are on lee slopes both adjacent to ridgelines and distant from ridgelines and in steep gullies and bowls. The strong to stormy winds have continued to work the snow and have led to smaller, fresh snowdrift accumulations. 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 the snowpack near the ground is weakened by floating snow in shady high areas. On Wednesday, the wind will shift to the north-east. Mostly clouds, but no more new fallen snow. The wind slab problem remains. steady 2026-03-31T15:00:00Z 2026-04-01T15:00:00Z 2026-03-31 2026-03-30T15:00:00Z 2026-03-30T15:00:00Z 2026-03-31T15:00:00Z false Fischbach Alps East, Wechselgebiet Mürztaler Alpen Murberge, Gurktaler Alpen Seetaler Alpen Koralpe East Stub- und Gleinalpe Fischbach Alps West, Grazer Bergland low all_day wind_slab 1500 SW S W SE E NE all_day slab South of the main Alpine ridge, it will remain mostly dry on Tuesday and there will be sunshine from time to time. The temperature at 2000 metres above sea level will be -6 to -7 degrees. The wind will be strong to stormy from north-west to north. Low avalanche danger, but avoid fresh pillows of wind drifted snow! The avalanche danger is assessed as "low". Nevertheless, fresh pillows of wind drifted snow can occasionally be triggered as small slab avalanches. Stormy winds repeatedly lead to the formation of fresh pillows of wind drifted snow, which are deposited on a hard old snowpack and are usually sufficiently bonded to it. There is generally little snow. On Wednesday, the wind will shift to the north-east. Mostly cloudy, but no more new fallen snow. The avalanche risk remains low. steady 2026-03-31T15:00:00Z 2026-04-01T15:00:00Z 2026-03-31 2026-03-30T15:00:00Z 2026-03-30T15:00:00Z 2026-03-31T15:00:00Z false Semmering - Wechselgebiet Gutensteiner Alpen low all_day The first snow showers will pass through during the night and the wind will pick up from midnight. On Tuesday, the peaks will be covered in thick clouds most of the time - it will continue to snow over the western mountains, especially in the Ybbstal and Türnitz Alps, with up to 15 cm of new fallen snow expected. Further east, at least isolated snow showers are to be expected, but it will remain mainly dry towards Wechsel. The weather will begin to improve from the north-east on Wednesday. After a lot of clouds in the first half of the day, there will be more clearing in the afternoon. Partly prone to wind drifted snow at medium altitudes. Pillows of wind drifted snow are sometimes prone to triggering and can be triggered by individuals as a small slide. However, the risk of burial is low. The snowpack can start to glide snow on steep grassy slopes. In the last few days, up to 40 cm of new fallen snow has fallen in the Gutenstein Alps and up to 20 cm on the Hochwechsel and in the Bucklige Welt. Since Wednesday, strong to gale-force winds have been blowing almost continuously in places, transporting the fresh new fallen snow. This is now forming drift snow packs in forest aisles and higher elevations. At low altitudes, the snow is mostly wet. The avalanche risk is not expected to increase. The north to north-westerly wind is still blowing strongly, sometimes gale force - fresh drift snow packs are being deposited on the existing accumulations that are prone to triggering. steady 2026-03-31T15:00:00Z 2026-04-01T15:00:00Z 2026-03-31 Considerable avalanche danger widespread due to fresh snow and drifts
