Snow report Lötschental, 02/15/2026

Snow condition

It goes down to the valley. The lowest part is really exhausting but I took my skis off at least twice below the valley station.

Snow quality

above 3000 at least five stars. really deep. partly hip-deep in the blown-in areas and fluffy light. up to the zero degree limit mostly 30cm of fresh snow on a supporting but soft base layer. in sunny areas small but skiable sun crusts. Below 2000, throw-anchor snow where you try to get to Forman on the crust.

All due respect. I would rate the triple as a 3+ at most. Although it only goes down partially, the release capability is very good with very little additional load and also by remote release in interspersed terrain. We had one remote and one skier release in fortunately moderate terrain. Break propagation but clearly through different layers and sometimes over 50m distance.

Overall impression

Pooh, we were actually careful and yet the intensity of the avalanche danger surprised us. surprised us. So much so that we only had fun on the slopes afterwards. However, the snow is so good there that we end the day satisfied and as a leereich with a beer and a movie about the Tschäggätta.
