In total, around 3 to 10 cm of new fallen snow will accumulate. On Friday, the clouds will soften and often let the sun shine. During the day, cumulus clouds will form again, restricting visibility in places. The clouds will clear again later in the afternoon. A moderately strong to brisk north-westerly wind will blow, reaching speeds of around 50 km/h in the open high areas of the Tauern. At 2000 metres the temperature will be -6 to -3 degrees, at 3000 metres -11 to -7 degrees. Combined old and wind slab problem The avalanche risk is moderate from the sparse high forest upwards. In some places, avalanches can be triggered by even a small additional load in the persistent weak layer and can reach medium size. Be careful at the transition from little to lots of snow. Even partially covered and difficult to recognise snowdrift accumulations can be disturbed by individuals in some places. Superficial avalanches remain small, but tear through to the upper part of the persistent weak layer relatively easily and then become medium sized. All aspects and both adjacent to ridgelines and steep terrain far from ridges are affected. Caution is also required on and below cornices. On isolated typical slopes, sliding snow activity may set in, and loose snow activity may also set in during longer windows of sunshine. At higher, wind-calm locations, there is an average of half a metre of new and drift snow from the last week, while exposed locations are heavily blown and snowdrift accumulations are correspondingly thick. The snow came to rest on a thin melt-freeze crust from the weekend, in the vicinity of which faceted crystals are forming. At high altitudes on the shady slopes, angular forms and deep rime (also in combination with crusts) can be found even deeper in the old snowpack. Fractures are most likely to occur within the no longer quite fresh snowdrift accumulations, increasingly also on the uppermost crust, and only occasionally in the deep rime. On Saturday, changeable weather and similar avalanche risk. steady 2026-04-03T15:00:00Z 2026-04-04T15:00:00Z 2026-04-03 2026-04-02T15:00:00Z 2026-04-02T15:00:00Z 2026-04-03T15:00:00Z false Nockberge Niedere Tauern South low treeline all_day moderate treeline all_day wind_slab treeline S W SE NE SW E all_day slab persistent_weak_layers 2000 N W NE NW E all_day slab There will be no precipitation overnight in the Nockberge region.

A moderately strong to brisk north-westerly wind will blow. At 1500 metres the temperature will be -2 to 1 degree, at 2000 metres -6 to -3 degrees. Note the persistent weak layer The avalanche risk is moderate from the sparse high forest upwards. In a few places, avalanches can still be triggered by a small additional load in the persistent weak layer and reach medium size. Be careful at the transition from a little to a lot of snow. Even mostly easily recognisable snowdrift accumulations can be disturbed by individuals in some places. Superficial avalanches remain small, but can reach medium size if they break through to the upper part of the persistent weak layer. Caution is also advised on and below cornices. The snow surface is variable and characterised by storms. Drift snow packs are usually easily recognisable, but the unfavourable old snowpack underneath is not. Breaks 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 due to layers of faceted crystals and deep frost as well as a foundation of floating snow close to the ground. On Saturday, changeable weather and similar avalanche risk. steady 2026-04-03T15:00:00Z 2026-04-04T15:00:00Z 2026-04-03 2026-04-02T15:00:00Z 2026-04-02T15:00:00Z 2026-04-03T15:00:00Z false Pongauer Grasberge Chiemgau Alps South Untersbergstock Osterhorngruppe, Gamsfeldgruppe Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge Steinernes Meer, Hochkönig, Hagengebirge, Göllstock Tennengebirge, Gosaukamm Kitzbühel Alps Oberpinzgau Kitzbühel Alps Glemmtal Dientner Grasberge low 2000 all_day moderate 2000 all_day persistent_weak_layers 2000 N W NE NW E all_day slab wind_slab treeline S N W SE NE SW NW E all_day slab During the night, it will snow frequently from dense clouds in the northern Alps with a snowfall level of around 900 metres.

In some places, avalanches can be triggered by even a small additional load in the persistent weak layer and can reach medium size. Be careful at the transition from lots of snow to little snow. The drift snow accumulations, some of which are difficult to recognise, are relatively well placed. However, if they are disturbed at one of the few trigger points, avalanches can break through into the persistent weak layer and then become medium sized. Caution is also advised on and below cornices. On isolated typical slopes, sliding snow activity can set in, and loose snow activity can also occur during longer sun windows. At higher, windless locations, there is an average of 40 cm of new and drift snow from the last week, while exposed locations are heavily blown and snowdrift accumulations are correspondingly thick.
