Avalanche danger map of the Alps
The avalanche danger layer draws the danger level for today or tomorrow on the 3D terrain, with the critical aspects and elevations from the bulletin, from the European warning services. Open an archived date to see a past bulletin on the terrain. This website adds bulletin pages per region for Switzerland, Tyrol and France.
A danger level is not a go or no-go signal. At level 3 (considerable) the danger is not the same on every slope: the bulletin says which elevations and aspects it applies to and which avalanche problems to expect. On the map that sentence becomes colour on the terrain, so you can see which part of your line the bulletin is talking about and which part it is not.
The danger drawn on the slopes
Switch on the avalanche danger layer and the slopes take the colour of the danger level, with the critical aspects and elevations from the bulletin. Choose today, tomorrow or an archived date. The levels come from the European warning services, so a tour across a border shows both sides.
Click a point for the full bulletin
Inspect any point and the map shows the danger per elevation, the avalanche problems, the critical aspects and tomorrow's outlook for that spot, next to its elevation, slope and aspect. Read the full bulletin at the source before you go.
Bulletin pages per region on this website
For Switzerland (SLF), Tyrol (avalanche.report) and France (Météo-France) this website has a page per warning region with the danger level, the avalanche problems and the bulletin text where the service publishes it, each linking to the original. No account needed.
