European Avalanche Warning Services

European Avalanche Warning Services (EAWS) coordinate avalanche risk assessments across European mountain regions to enhance safety for outdoor enthusiasts. They analyze snow conditions, weather patterns, and terrain to produce daily danger ratings, maps, and forecasts. These services provide critical information to mountain rescuers, authorities, and the public, helping prevent accidents and guiding safe travel during winter months. By sharing consistent, up-to-date warnings, EAWS improves overall avalanche awareness and safety across participating countries, ensuring coordinated responses and informed decision-making in snowy mountain environments.
