White Risk is the Swiss platform for avalanche prevention and was awarded Best Swiss App in 2025. It is designed and developed at the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF and is aimed at everyone who travels in winter mountain terrain outside secured ski slopes. In addition to the avalanche bulletin and current snow and measurement data, White Risk includes a trip planning tool specialized for ski touring, snowshoe routes and freeride. Draw your own routes, analyze the terrain using avalanche terrain maps and automatic cruxes, and plan alternatives. Through e learning, White Risk conveys avalanche knowledge and deepens it with interactive lessons and exercises. Tour planning: Draw routes along paths or ski routes or freely across the terrain and store all relevant information about your tour in one place. Automatic cruxes: White Risk analyzes your route, automatically marks potentially critical cruxes and complements them with relevant avalanche and terrain information. Use maps offline: Download map material with topographic maps as well as layers such as slope angle and avalanche terrain for planning and navigation on the go. Synchronization across all platforms: All planned tours are stored in the personal account and can be accessed and edited at any time via app and web.

Snow maps, measurements and observations: Display of current and forecast new snow amounts as well as snow depths for Switzerland, complemented by measurements from stations and current observations such as avalanches and snow profiles. E learning: White Risk conveys avalanche knowledge using graphics, videos and animations and deepens it in interactive lessons with exercises and knowledge tests.
