European Avalanche Warning Service

The European Avalanche Warning Service (EAWS) provides snow stability forecasts and avalanche risk assessments for mountain areas across Europe. It collects and analyzes weather, snowpack, and terrain data to predict potential avalanche dangers. The goal is to inform skiers, snowboarders, mountaineers, and authorities so they can make safe decisions, reduce avalanche accidents, and protect lives and property. EAWS collaborates with national agencies, offering region-specific information to ensure timely warnings and enhanced safety in avalanche-prone regions.
