Statement

Measurement of snow depth in Ischgl

Snow depth is information regarding the absolute depth of snow coverage at a specified location (Source: Wikipedia).

Snow depths in Ischgl are measured daily at first light by our avalanche commission and the details are then released.

Snow is subject to specific factors, including temperature, wind, its own weight, transformation into snow crystals etc., natural settlement. For this reason snow depths do not automatically rise, in spite of fresh snow.

Conversely, wind-driven processes, even on a small-scale in open terrain, may also cause enormous thick snow coverage to build up, far beyond any fresh snow levels.

The current fresh snow amounts from the preceding day can be found in the FRESH SNOW column.

Current avalanche danger scale for Ischgl

Current avalanche danger scale for Samnaun

Avalanche danger scale according to the European Avalanche Warning Services

Avalanche danger scale

  • 1
    low
    lawinenwarnstufe.Warnstufe x

    Snowpack stability
    The snowpack is well bonded and stable in general.

    Avalanche triggering probability
    Triggering is generally possible only from high additional loads** in isolated areas of very steep, extreme terrain. Only sluffs and small-sized natural avalanches are possible.

  • 2
    moderate
    lawinenwarnstufe.Warnstufe x

    Snowpack stability
    The snowpack is only moderately well bonded on some steep slopes*, otherwise well bonded in general.

    Avalanche triggering probability
    Triggering is possible primarily from high additional loads**, particularly on the indicated steep slopes*. Large-sized natural avalanches are unlikely.

  • 3
    considerable
    lawinenwarnstufe.Warnstufe x

    Snowpack stability
    The snowpack is moderately to poorly bonded on many steep slopes*.

    Avalanche triggering probability
    Triggering is possible, even from low additional loads** particularly on the indicated steep slopes*. In some cases medium-sized, in isolated cases large-sized natural avalanches are possible.

  • 4
    high
    lawinenwarnstufe.Warnstufe x

    Snowpack stability
    The snowpack is poorly bonded on most steep slopes.

    Avalanche triggering probability
    Triggering is likely even from low additional loads** on many steep slopes. In some cases, numerous medium-sized and often large-sized natural avalanches can be expected.

  • 5
    very high
    lawinenwarnstufe.Warnstufe x

    Snowpack stability
    The snowpack is poorly bonded and largely unstable in general.

    Avalanche triggering probability
    Numerous large-sized and often very large-sized natural avalanches can be expected, even in moderately steep terrain.

A ski day on the 239 kilometres of slopes at the Silvretta Arena needs to be well-planned. If you don’t want to leave anything up to chance, you should always check the current avalanche warnings for Ischgl before hitting the slopes.

Important: Especially those who prefer to ski off-slope should stay up to date on the current avalanche warnings before heading out into the free terrain.
