The avalanche risk is considerable. Wet snow is the main problem. In all aspects, wet loose snow and slab avalanches can detach themselves, especially on extremely steep terrain. Gliding avalanches can occur on steep slopes with smooth ground. Avalanche run-out areas must be recognised and avoided. Exposed traffic and hiking trails can be hit. Attention must also be paid to persistent weak layers at high altitudes. On very steep slopes with aspects from north-west to north to east, dry slab avalanches can be triggered by low additional loads. They reach medium size. Overnight, the soaking of the snowpack is also progressing on the north side. The new and drift snow packs of the past two weeks often contain grey peel deposits and at higher elevations, especially on shady slopes, are partly on thin weak layers in the area of crusts. The snowpack base is still dry at high altitudes and often consists of faceted crystals, further down it is usually moist or wet. Transition to spring conditions with a daily increase in avalanche danger. Overnight rain showers up to high altitudes: wet snow! 2026-04-05T15:00:00Z 2026-04-05T15:00:00Z 2026-04-06T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 3 wet snow old snow drifting snow steady 2026-04-06T15:00:00Z 2026-04-07T15:00:00Z During the nighttime hours, cloud cover will rapidly move in from the northwest, frequently bringing heavy rain showers. Monday will start with dense, heavy low-lying clouds and final showers. Later in the morning conditions will become more pleasant. Temperature at 2000m: from 1 to 6 degrees; at 3000m: -4 to 0 degrees. Brisk-to-strong westerly winds at high altitude. Starting in early morning: considerable avalanche danger The snowpack is weak up to high altitudes, partly due to lack of nocturnal shortwave outgoing radiation, partly due to rainfall and mild temperatures. In very steep terrain in all aspects, wet slides and avalanches can be expected. These releases can grow to large size. On steep snow-covered grassy slopes, glide-snow avalanches are possible. Caution below glide cracks in the surface of the snowpack. In addition, medium-sized avalanches can be triggered in older snowdrifts, as well as on high-altitude shady slopes in the weak old snow, by winter sports enthusiasts. The old snowpack us weak up to over 2000m already in the early morning hours. During the daytime, mild temperatures and solar radiation make the snowpack wetter, rapidly leading to a further loss of firmness. Above the timberline, older snowdrift accumulations are frequently prone to triggering. On steep, shady high-altitude slopes, the old snowpack often has unfavorable intermediate layers and a poorly-structured fundament.

In the second half of the night, low clouds will remain, only clearing up a little in places. On Easter Monday, low residual clouds from the night will persist in the morning; the highest peaks of the Tauern may rise above them. During the daytime changes, the weather will become softer and the sun may appear alongside thin high cloud fields. Temperatures will rise to between 2 and 6 degrees at 2000 metres and around -1 degree at 3000 metres. The wind will blow moderately to briskly from the west. Wet avalanches are already expected in the morning. The avalanche danger increases from moderate to considerable during the daytime changes below 2500 metres. Small and medium, damp and wet loose snow avalanches and snow slabs are to be expected in all aspects below around 2500 metres. Wet avalanches can also be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts. A few small gliding avalanches are to be expected on typical slopes. In a few places above 2200 m, snow slabs can also be triggered in persistent weak layers, especially on west-, north- and east-facing slopes, and also on the south side in the high Alps. Avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. The snow on the surface is often sticky to wet from early in the morning, and the snow is also moistened on the north side up to around 2600 metres. Pure sunny slopes are (almost) isothermal up to high altitudes and moist right down to the ground. At high altitudes on shady slopes, the old snowpack contains angular forms and deep rime. Fractures are most likely to occur on one of the uppermost crusts and only rarely in the floating snow close to the ground. In some cases, the snow also glides off the ground. A spring situation with melt-freeze crust in the morning and firn during the daytime changes. On shady slopes, the persistent weak layer problem remains.

Scattered showers pass through and the temperature drops. On Easter Monday, clouds will predominate in the first half of the day and a few rain showers will fall. The snowfall level will fluctuate between 1500 and 1800 metres above sea level. In the afternoon, the weather will improve and the clouds will slowly soften, and it will be mostly dry. Temperatures will drop slightly: at 2000 metres from +6 degrees to 0 degrees, at 1500 metres from +15 degrees to +7 degrees. Strong to stormy winds from the west with gusts between 60 and 90 km/h. Moderate avalanche danger: Spontaneous wet snow avalanches are still possible! The avalanche danger is assessed as moderate. Wet slab avalanches can be triggered even under low additional load. Spontaneous wet snow avalanches are also possible with rain. The avalanches are usually small. They can also be medium-sized in steep gullies and bowls. Wechten breaks can trigger naturally triggered avalanches. Due to the cooling, the firmness of the snowpack at higher altitudes increases again somewhat. At medium altitudes, the snowpack remains moist, at low altitudes it is wet. With the arrival of rain, weak layers between the consolidated windslab snow and the old snowpack in the northern sectors may become prone to triggering again. In the Rax-Schneeberg area, there is little snow below 1400 metres. Sunny mountain weather will prevail again on Tuesday. The north-westerly wind blows noticeably. The avalanche danger changes only slightly. Decrease in avalanche danger: Spontaneous wet snow or gliding sluffs are still possible. 2026-04-05T15:00:00Z 2026-04-05T15:00:00Z 2026-04-06T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 wet snow old snow Avalanches reach small and medium size.

The avalanche risk is moderate across the board. Depending on the amount of snow present, small to medium spontaneous wet snow avalanches are to be expected on steep terrain (more so when it rains in the morning or when the sun shines in the afternoon) and individual gliding avalanches are possible on steep, smooth ground. Older snowdrift accumulations can still be triggered in isolated cases at higher elevations under additional load. Steep slopes, filled-in steep bowls and gullies must be observed in this regard. The snowpack is settled, can consolidate on the surface overnight due to significantly falling temperatures at higher altitudes, but is damp to wet on the inside depending on altitude and aspect. Light rain in the morning and sunshine in the afternoon lead to further moisture input and decreasing firmness of the snowpack.

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 medium-sized avalanche can be triggered by a large load exceeding the load-bearing capacity of these layers. The last snowfall was accompanied by a strong northerly wind, which blew the snow down to the old base in many places and created snowdrift accumulations in the leeward areas. In some places, these are on top of a layer of Graupel, which is a potentially dangerous Weak layer. Locally, the layers of Graupel are 5-10 cm thick, possibly more. In the old snow cover, the snow layers are mostly well interconnected. Deep below the surface, several weak layers of shreds and sheared grains occur, which are more frequent on axial slopes.

In some places, these have built up on a layer of parachuted graupel, which is a potentially dangerous Weak layer. Locally, the layers of Graupel are 5-10 cm thick, possibly more. The danger of avalanches will remain similar. 2026-04-05T15:00:00Z 2026-04-05T15:00:00Z 2026-04-06T10:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 steady 2026-04-06T15:00:00Z 2026-04-07T15:00:00Z The night will be clear to partly cloudy. Mostly sunny on Easter Monday. At 2000 metres 0 to 6 degrees. Moderate to brisk wind from the northwest. During the daytime changes, wet avalanches are more likely to be triggered. Avalanche conditions are usually favourable in the morning after a clear night. During the daytime changes, the propensity to trigger wet avalanches increases, especially on extremely steep sunny slopes. Wet avalanches can mainly come from multiple starting zones that have not yet been fully discharged. These are usually small but can easily be triggered by individual winter sports enthusiasts. Tours should be ended in good time. The outgoing longwave radiation at night is sometimes quite good. The snow surface freezes and softens quickly. Sun and warmth lead to increasing soaking of the snowpack during the day changes. Shady slopes with little snow above around 1800 m: The lower part of the snowpack is faceted. Little change.

Scattered showers pass through and the temperature drops. On Easter Monday, clouds will predominate in the first half of the day and a few rain showers will fall. The snowfall level will fluctuate between 1500 and 1800 metres above sea level. The weather will improve in the afternoon and the clouds will slowly soften, and it will be mostly dry. Temperatures at 1500 metres will drop from +15 degrees to +7 degrees. Strong to stormy winds from the west with gusts between 50 and 80 km/h. Spontaneous wet snow or gliding sluffs are occasionally possible. The avalanche risk is low. Due to the mild temperatures, spontaneous wet snow and gliding sluffs are still possible in a few places. The avalanches remain mostly small. Due to the rain on Saturday and the marked rise in temperature on Sunday, the snowpack is wet on the sunny side, mostly up to summit level. On shady slopes, the snowpack is wet. The snowpack will remain wet or moist due to rainfall on Monday. There is little snow below 1000 metres. Sunny mountain weather will prevail again on Tuesday. The north-westerly wind blows noticeably. The avalanche danger remains low. Decrease in avalanche danger: Spontaneous wet snow or gliding sluffs are still possible. 2026-04-05T15:00:00Z 2026-04-05T15:00:00Z 2026-04-06T10:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 wet snow old snow steady 2026-04-06T15:00:00Z 2026-04-07T15:00:00Z South of the main Alpine ridge, it will be mostly sunny and free of precipitation on Easter Monday. The temperature at 2000 metres above sea level will be between +2 and +5 degrees. The wind is blowing briskly from the north-west. Low avalanche danger, but watch out for spontaneous wet snow slides! The avalanche danger is assessed as "low". Nevertheless, small, wet loose snow slides and occasional small gliding avalanches are to be expected (wet snow problem). In extremely steep, shady areas above 2000 m, small to medium-sized slab avalanches can still be triggered very occasionally (persistent weak layer problem). The thin snowpack will be damp or wet in all areas and may start to glide on a smooth surface. Only in very shady areas above 2000 metres does the snowpack still have small cold reserves and occasional weak layers in the persistent weak layer. In general, there is very little snow and lower altitudes are becoming increasingly thin. Sunny mountain weather will prevail again on Tuesday. The north-westerly wind blows noticeably. The avalanche danger remains low. Wet snow problem still dominant! 2026-04-05T15:00:00Z 2026-04-06T10:00:00Z 2026-04-06T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 wet snow old snow steady 2026-04-06T15:00:00Z 2026-04-07T15:00:00Z South of the main Alpine ridge, it will be mostly sunny and free of precipitation on Easter Monday.
