Snow report for Ischgl
All important information at a glance
Explanation: Snow depth measurement in Ischgl
- The snow depth is the absolute height of the snow cover at a specific location.
- The snow depths in Ischgl are measured and published daily in the morning hours by our avalanche commission.
- Snow naturally settles under certain influences, such as temperature, wind, weight, transformation of snow crystals, etc.. This is why snow depths do not automatically increase despite new snow.
- Conversely, small-scale wind drifting in the terrain can also cause enormous snowpack thicknesses to build up that far exceed the new snow depths.
- The current amounts of fresh snow since the previous day can be found in the NEW SNOW column.

Current Avalance Warning LEvel
For Ischgl and Samnaun
A day's skiing on the 239 kilometres of pistes in the Silvretta Arena needs to be well planned! If you don't want to leave anything to chance, it's best to check the current avalanche situation in Ischgl before you hit the slopes.
Important: Especially all those who like to go off-piste should check the current avalanche danger before every trip into the terrain.

nach European Avalanche Warning Services
1 Low
SNOWPACK STABILITY
The snow cover is generally well consolidated and stable.
AVALANCHE TRIGGERING PROBABILITY
Avalanches can generally only be triggered if there is a large additional load** in isolated places on extremely steep terrain*. Only slides and small avalanches are possible spontaneously.
2 Moderate
SNOWPACK STABILITY
The snow cover is only moderately consolidated on some steep slopes*, otherwise generally well consolidated.
AVALANCHE TRIGGERING PROBABILITY
Avalanches can be triggered in particular with high additional loads**, especially on the indicated steep slopes*. Large spontaneous avalanches are not to be expected.
3 Considerable
SNOWPACK STABILITY
The snow cover is only moderately to weakly consolidated on many steep slopes*.
AVALANCHE TRIGGERING PROBABILITY
Avalanches can be triggered even with low additional loads**, especially on the indicated steep slopes*. Occasionally some medium, but occasionally also large avalanches are possible.
4 High
SNOWPACK STABILITY
The snow cover is weakly consolidated on most steep slopes.
AVALANCHE TRIGGERING PROBABILITY
Avalanches are likely to be triggered on numerous steep slopes even with low additional loads**. In some cases, many medium and several large avalanches can be expected spontaneously.
5 Very high
SNOWPACK STABILITY
The snow cover is generally weakly consolidated and largely unstable.
AVALANCHE TRIGGERING PROBABILITY
Spontaneous avalanches are to be expected in moderately steep terrain.
