Tomorrow, Tuesday, the mountains will often be covered in clouds and it will continue to snow, especially in the morning. Together with the previous night's precipitation, 20 to 30 cm of new fallen snow is expected at higher altitudes. The showers will become much less frequent in the afternoon, with some clearing in between. Brisk to strong north-westerly winds, peaking at around 80 km/h at high altitudes in the Tauern mountains. Temperatures at 2000 metres around -9 degrees, at 3000 metres around -15 degrees. 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 2026-03-31T06:56:13Z 2026-03-30T15:00:00Z 2026-03-31T15:00:00Z true Pongauer Grasberge Chiemgau Alps South Untersbergstock Osterhorngruppe, Gamsfeldgruppe Dientner Grasberge low treeline all_day moderate treeline all_day wind_slab treeline SW S N NW W SE E NE all_day slab Snow showers will pass through during the night with brisk to strong winds from the northwest. Tomorrow, Tuesday, the mountains will often be covered in clouds and it will continue to snow, especially in the morning. Together with the previous night's precipitation, 10 to 30 cm of new fallen snow is expected at higher altitudes, with a gradient from the north to the Niedere Tauern. The showers will become less frequent in the afternoon, with some clearing in between. Brisk to strong north-westerly winds. Temperatures at 2000 metres around -9 degrees. Fresh wind slab prone to triggering The avalanche risk is moderate. Above the tree line, the fresh wind slab can be triggered as a slab in some places even with a small additional load. Avalanches can reach medium size. There are avalanche prone locations both adjacent to ridgelines and distant from ridgelines, as well as in steep gullies and in forest aisles.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, the mountains will often be covered in clouds, but it may clear up a little in the afternoon. Strong to stormy north-westerly winds will continue. Temperatures at 2000 metres around -9 degrees. Fresh wind slab prone to triggering The avalanche risk is moderate above the tree line. Fresh wind slabs can be triggered as small or medium-sized slabs in all aspects, even under low loads. Avalanche prone locations are mainly in gullies, bowls and behind terrain edges, also distant from ridgelines. Take particular care on very steep western, northern and eastern slopes above around 2000 metres. Transitions from little to more snow are particularly unfavourable. The snow surface is characterised by the north-westerly storm of the last few days and the storm is also depositing fresh wind slab. It covers an unfavourable old snow surface above the tree line. Fractures are possible between the drift snow layers and at the transition to the persistent weak layer. The old snowpack is particularly weakened on western, northern and eastern slopes above around 2000 metres by layers of faceted crystals and deep frost as well as by a foundation of floating snow close to the ground. Weakening snowfall and wind lead to a slow improvement. decreasing 2026-03-31T15:00:00Z 2026-04-01T15:00:00Z 2026-03-31 Avoid fresh wind slab, continue to avoid avalanche prone locations in persistent weak layers
