Risk assessment for Monday 08 June 2026
LAST BULLETIN OF THE SEASON
Risk indices: 5 very high - 4 high - 3 considerable - 2 moderate - 1 low -- In black: the most dangerous slopes
Above 3400m moderate risk level, lower down low risk level.
Naturally triggered avalanches: small point-release avalanches, surface wet snow
Skier-triggered releases: wet snow under skis
Stability of the snow cover until Monday 08 June in the evening
Typical avalanche situation:
Wet snow
Skier-triggered releases:* sluff under skis in the moistened surface snow. When cutting across a steep slope, above 2700/2900 m. Size 1.* small wind slab still possible (but very rare). Very steep N slopes in high alpine regions, above 3200/3400 m, a little dry snow may remain. Monitor changes in snow quality over short distances. Naturally triggered avalanches: rare point-release and superficial avalanches (pear-shaped) in wet snow after warming. In particular N/NE slopes above 2800/3000 m. Size 1 (small).
Snow quality
Snow conditions: below average for the season following the recent warm spell. Skiable limit: around 2200 m on North aspects, 2700/2800 m on South aspects on gentle slopes. Snow quality: poor refreezing at dawn below 3000 m, better above. The new snow is crusted at dawn on all aspects/all altitudes. With the sun, it softens and quickly becomes sticky/heavy. It is only on North-facing slopes in high alpine regions, very steep (such as the North face of Tsanteleina), that one can hope to find a little cold snow.

| French Term | English Term | Definition | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Départ spontané | Naturally triggered avalanches | Avalanche not caused by external forces, e.g. snowfall or loss in firmness due to weather conditions. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| déclenchable | Skier-triggered releases | An avalanche caused by the weight of a person (skier, snowboarder, hiker) or by explosives. The additional load collapses a weak layer, causing the slab above to fracture and slide. | AvalancheClarity Static Glossary |
| Haute montagne | High alpine regions | Areas above approximately 3000 m (particularly glaciated areas). | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| Ubac | North-facing slopes | The shady, north-facing side of a mountain. Snow persists longer and weak layers are better preserved on ubac slopes. | AvalancheClarity Static Glossary |
| Enneigement | Snow conditions | The depth and distribution of snow on the ground across a mountain range. Varies with elevation, aspect, and snowfall history. | AvalancheClarity Static Glossary |
| Surtout | In particular | In general, avalanches can be triggered by high additional loading, in isolated cases by minimum additional loading. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| marqué | considerable | Snowpack is moderately to poorly bonded on many steep slopes. Triggering is possible even from low additional loads, particularly on indicated steep slopes. In certain situations, some large natural avalanches are possible. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| Pente raide | Steep slope | Slopes steeper than approximately 30°, where most slab avalanches occur. The steeper the slope, the lower the additional load needed to trigger a release. | AvalancheClarity Static Glossary |
| Regel | Refreezing | Overnight freezing of the snow surface forming a hard crust. Refreezing temporarily stabilises the snowpack but strength decreases with daytime warming. | AvalancheClarity Static Glossary |
| Manteau neigeux | Snow cover | Snow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| Hauteur de neige | Snow depth | Thickness of the snowpack measured vertically. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| Très pentu | Very steep | Quite unfavourable slope with regard to angle (steeper than 40 degrees), terrain profile, proximity to ridge, smoothness of underlying ground surface. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| Stabilité | Stability | The strength of a snowpack to withstand internal and external disturbances.Stability is determined by firmness vs. stress inside a snow layer. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| Neige ventée | Wind slab | The wind-drifted snow problem is related to wind-drifted snow. The transported snow is typically packed on leeward sides into gullies, bowls and behind ridgelines or other wind-sheltered locations. Also commonly known as “windslab”. The problem is less widespread distributed than the new snow problem. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| très fort | very high | Snowpack is generally unstable. Many large natural avalanches are expected, even on moderately steep terrain. Extremely dangerous conditions — avoid all avalanche terrain. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| Neige fraîche | New snow | The new snow problem is related to current or recent snowfall. The additional loading on the existing snowpack or a lack of cohesion in the newly fallen snow can cause avalanche activity. The problem is widely present, often in all aspects and lasts usually until a few days after the snowfall event. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| Neige humide | Wet snow | The wet snow problem is related to the weakening of the snowpack due to the presence of liquid water. Water infiltrates the snowpack due to high radiation impact (sunshine) which leads to melt or rain (advecting energy into the snowpack leading to melt as well). | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| limité | moderate | Snowpack is moderately well bonded on some steep slopes, otherwise generally well bonded. Triggering is possible with high additional loads, particularly on indicated steep slopes. Large natural avalanches unlikely. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| Exposition | Aspects | Direction in which a slope faces as indicated by compass direction of the fall line; i.e. a north slope faces in a northerly direction. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| Coulée | Sluff | A small downhill movement of snow. | American Meteorological Society |
| Risque | Risk | Likelihood of occurrence combines mathematical probability, risk exposure and possible damages. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| faible | low | Snowpack is generally well bonded and stable. Triggering is generally possible only from high additional loads in a few isolated steep extreme terrain features. Only small natural avalanches possible. | European Avalanche Warning Services |
| sèche | dry | IACS/UNESCO |

Estimation des risques pour le lundi 08 juin 2026
DERNIER BULLETIN DE LA SAISON
Indices de risque : 5 très fort - 4 fort - 3 marqué - 2 limité - 1 faible -- En noir : les pentes les plus dangereuses
Au-dessus de 3400m indice de risque limité, plus bas indice faible.
Départs spontanés : petits départs ponctuels, neige humide de surface
Déclenchements skieurs : neige humide sous les skis
Stabilité du manteau neigeux jusqu'au lundi 08 juin au soir
Situation avalancheuse typique :Neige humide
Déclenchements provoqués :* coulée sous les skis dans la neige de surface humidifiée. En coupant une pente raide, au-dessus de 2700/2900 m. Talle 1.* petite plaque à vent encore possible (mais très rare). Pentes N très raides de haute-montagne, au-dessus de 3200/3400 m, il peut subsister une peu de neige sèche. Surveiller les changements de qualité de neige sur une courte distance.Départs spontanés : rares départs ponctuels et superficiels (en forme de poire) dans la neige humide après réchauffement. Surtout versants N/NE au-dessus de 2800/3000 m. Taille 1 (petite).
Qualité de la neige
Enneigement : déficitaire pour la saison suite au récent épisode de chaleur.Limite skiable : vers 2200 m en Nord, 2700/2800 m en Sud en pente peu raide.Qualité de la neige : regel médiocre au réveil sous 3000 m, meilleur au-dessus. La neige récente est croutée au réveil en tous versants/toutes altitudes. Avec le Soleil, elle ramollie et devient rapidement collante/lourde. Il n'y a qu'en versant Nord de haute montagne, très raide (type face Nord Tsanteleina), qu'on peut espérer trouver un peu de neige froide.
