Snowfall level: around 1600m. Temperature at 2000m: 0 degrees; at 3000m: -7 degrees. Brisk westerly-to-northwesterly winds at high altitudes. Increasing danger of wet-snow avalanches as day unfolds As a result of little fresh snowfall and wind, small snowdrift accumulations were generated locally at high altitudes. During the daytime hours, wet-snow avalanche danger will increase somewhat. Winter sports enthusiasts can trigger isolated wet-snow slab avalanches in very steep terrain, the danger spots are impossible to recognize.Due to daytime warming and solar radiation, danger of wet-snow avalanches increasees during daytime hours. Wet slab avalanches can in isolated cases be triggered by persons. Also some naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches can fracture and, in isolated cases, grow to large size. Whumpf noises and glide cracks in the old snow are indicators of danger. Backcountry tours and ascents to refuges should be launched early in the day and brought early to a close. Glide-snow avalanches can trigger in steep snowy terrain which has not yet discharged over smooth underground in all aspects. In evening hours, outgoing radiation will be limited but become better during nocturnal house. Due to mild temperatures, the snowpack continues to become thoroughly wet. The snowpack is thoroughly wet, on north-facing slopes it is thoroughly wet below 2500m, in other aspects below 2800m. Lower altitudes are bare of snow. Sunny slopes are becoming bare of snow up to high altitudes. On shady high-altitude steep slopes there are unfavorable intermediate layers in the uppermost layer of the snowpack which in places can be triggered. A thick mid-level section of compact layers blankets a fundament of buried hoar and faceted crystals. Over the next few days, conditions will improve due to good nighttime outgoing longwave radiation beneath clear skies. During daytime hours, danger of wet-snow avalanches will increase. Increasingly good outgoing radiation as the night unfolds 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 wet snow steady 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z 2026-04-21T15:00:00Z Rain and snow showers will pass through on Monday night. The snowfall level will drop to around 1200 metres, with snow remaining above around 1500 metres. Around 5 cm of new fallen snow may accumulate in the northern Alps and Tauern. On Monday, the weather will be changeable with clouds, sunshine and a few rain and snow showers in the afternoon in the northern Alps and Tauern region. The snowfall level will be around 1400 metres. At 2000 metres the temperature will be around -1 degree, at 3000 metres around -7 degrees. The north-westerly wind will reach speeds of around 60 km/h on the main Alpine ridge. Wet snow remains the main danger The avalanche risk is moderate. Spontaneous wet snow avalanches are possible where there is still a lot of snow, i.e. on shady slopes at higher altitudes and partly on east and west-facing slopes. Avalanches can occur spontaneously or be triggered by winter sports. They remain medium-sized. Uncharacteristically long run-out lengths threaten bare terrain. Fresh snowdrift accumulations have formed above 2200 metres. Mostly small avalanches can be triggered there in places by small additional loads; be aware of the risk of falling. Reduced outgoing longwave radiation at night prevents the formation of a stable melt-freeze crust. The snowpack consists of compact snow characterised by rain, but on shady slopes from around 2200 metres there are still weak layers of deep frost in the old snowpack close to the ground. The snowpack is moist to wet up to high altitudes. Low and sunny slopes are snowed out. The outgoing longwave radiation at night is still limited and it remains cool. The danger of wet avalanches remains.

At 2000 metres the temperature will be around -1 degree, at 3000 metres around -7 degrees. The north-westerly wind will reach speeds of around 60 km/h on the main Alpine ridge. Naturally triggered avalanches are still possible The avalanche risk is moderate. Spontaneous wet snow avalanches are possible in places. Steep areas between 2200 m and 2600 m, where there is still a lot of snow, are particularly at risk. Avalanches usually remain medium in size, they can tear through the wet snow to the ground, run uncharacteristically wide and reach into the green. Above around 2400 m, in the steep terrain from west to north to east, there are individual avalanche prone locations in the dry persistent weak layer, high alpine also in the southern sector. Take care in the transitions from little to lots of snow. Fresh snowdrift accumulations have formed above 2200 metres. Mostly small avalanches can be triggered there in places by slight additional load, be aware of the risk of falling. Reduced outgoing longwave radiation at night often prevents the formation of a load-bearing melt-freeze crust. The snowpack consists of compact snow that is characterised by rain up to high altitudes. However, softer layers are embedded, especially at higher altitudes, which allow fractures near the surface. On shady slopes from around 2400 metres, there are still weak layers of angular forms and deep rime in the old snowpack close to the ground. The snowpack is moist to wet up to high altitudes. Low and sunny slopes are snowed out. The outgoing longwave radiation at night is still limited and it remains cool. The danger of wet avalanches remains.

Snow will fall above 1800 m. It will be around 4 °C at 1500 m and 0 °C at 2000 m. There will be a light SW wind. Rain thaw, possibility of triggering gliding avalanches. The Old snow cover is mostly well connected and stable, with the exception of some shady areas above 1800 m. In the event of a thaw with rain below 1800 m, there will be a slight increase in the probability of loose snow avalanches and gliding avalanches. On a cloudy night, the surface of the snowpack will not freeze. Rain will make the snow wet. Snow is already quite heavy in the high alpine regions. In an old snow cover, the snow layers are mostly well connected. More or less deep below the surface, there are several weak layers of slush and discontinuous grains, which are more frequent on the axis slopes above 1800 m. Tuesday will be mostly cloudy, with only occasional sunshine. Showers or thunderstorms may develop in the afternoon. 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 wet snow wet snow There is still a lot of snow on the northern sides in some places. The avalanche risk is moderate above 1600 metres. Wet snow is the problem. Gliding avalanches can occur on a few steep slopes with a smooth surface, such as meadow slopes or rock slabs. In addition, loose snow or slab avalanches can release themselves on extremely steep terrain or be triggered by individuals on very steep terrain. The avalanches are wet and reach medium size. It may snow a little at higher altitudes. Occasionally, smaller snowdrift accumulations in areas adjacent to the ridgeline, crest or summit may be prone to triggering. The old snowpack is generally very moist to wet up to the higher elevations and consists mainly of snowmelt. Only on north-facing slopes can layers of faceted crystals still be present deep in the snowpack. The new fallen snow melts quickly on the apery ground on the southern slopes. No change in avalanche danger The places where wet avalanches can occur are shifting to higher altitudes. 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 wet snow steady 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z 2026-04-21T15:00:00Z The weather on Monday will be windy and changeable. Lots of clouds alternating with sunshine. There will be a few showers in the afternoon, especially in the Limestone Alps, with snowfall levels at around 1200 metres above sea level. At 1500 metres it will be around 3 degrees, at 2000 metres around -2 degrees. The north-westerly wind will reach speeds of around 40 km/h. The changeable weather will continue on Tuesday with sunshine, spring clouds and a few snow showers. The snowfall level will be between 1000 and 1400 metres above sea level. At 1500 metres the temperature will be around 2 degrees, at 2000 metres around -4 degrees. During the day, north winds will pick up, reaching speeds of 30 km/h. Low avalanche danger! The avalanche danger remains low. Only on steep slopes at higher altitudes with a sufficiently thick snowpack are individual, mostly small, rarely medium wet snow avalanches possible in all aspects. The snowpack may firm somewhat on the surface as it cools. Otherwise it will be soaked or soaked through to the higher elevations and generally not very firm. There will be a few snow showers in the afternoon. Low and middle elevations will often be icy. No significant change in the avalanche situation in the coming days. The publication of avalanche reports will be cancelled for the 2025/26 season. Windy, changeable and cooler - local wet snow problem! 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 wet snow Individual avalanche prone locations The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow can be problematic in rare cases. Occasionally, on very to extremely steep slopes with sufficient snow, wet loose snow avalanches or wet gliding avalanches on slippery ground can release themselves. Avalanches usually remain small. The remaining snowpack is widely patchy and completely soaked. The southern sides are largely free of snow except for individual snow fields in areas adjacent to the ridgeline, crest or summit. No change The places where wet avalanches can occur are shifting to higher altitudes. 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 steady 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z 2026-04-21T15:00:00Z Monday in Styria will bring changeable and much cooler mountain weather than recently. In the morning it will be sunny again and again and the mountain peaks will often be clear. From midday onwards, the spring clouds will increase and in the afternoon it will be partly cloudy and regional rain showers and snow showers are to be expected above around 1600 to 1800 metres. With moderate winds from the north-west, it will be cooler than recently, with temperatures of around 0 degrees at 2000 metres. Generally low avalanche danger The avalanche risk is low. There is generally very little snow left. Only isolated wet snow slides are to be expected. The risk of entrainment in the fall terrain outweighs the risk of burial. The thin, consistently moist snowpack may consolidate a little due to the cooling. A thin layer of fresh snow is forming on the surface in places at high altitudes. There is only a little snow left and the sunny slopes are usually already snowed out. The changeable, slightly cooler mountain weather will continue on Tuesday. The avalanche risk remains low.

The avalanche risk is low. Nevertheless, spontaneous wet snow avalanches triggered by people can occur in a few places, in particular after being soaked by intermittent sunlight or rain showers. The avalanches usually remain small to medium-sized. Gliding avalanches are also possible in isolated cases. The snowpack can consolidate a little as it cools down. However, it can become soaked and unstable again in places due to intermittent sunshine or rain showers. A thin layer of fresh snow will form on the surface in places at high altitudes. The snow can begin to glide on a smooth surface. The changeable, slightly cooler mountain weather will continue on Tuesday. The avalanche risk remains low.

At 2000 metres the temperature will be around -1 degrees. The north-westerly wind will be brisk at times. Small, spontaneous wet snow avalanches are possible in snowy places The avalanche risk is low. The last remnants of snow can spontaneously descend as small wet snow slides. This increases the risk of avalanches in the fall terrain. There is still a little snow in places at altitude, but most of the terrain is already snowed out. The snow surface is soft from early in the morning. Slow reduction in avalanche danger due to melting of the remaining snow.
