Avycast
Official avalanche bulletins from 21 countries, translated — free web and iOS app
Overview
Every country runs its own avalanche warning service, each with its own site, layout and language. Avycast reads around 30 of them across 21 countries and presents them identically: the danger rating on the EAWS 1–5 scale per elevation band (above treeline / treeline / below treeline), the active avalanche problems with their aspects and elevations on a compass rose, and the full forecast narrative — highlights, avalanche activity, snowpack analysis. Bulletin text is translated faithfully into 12 languages; the wording stays the forecaster's, it is never summarised or rewritten. Every region page links back to the original source bulletin. The web forecast site is free and needs no account, in 6 interface languages. The iOS app adds automatic nearest-region lookup and an offline slope evaluator; the free tier covers one region, and Premium unlocks unlimited region switching and favourites. Avycast is an aggregator, not a warning service — always check the linked original.
Avycast aggregates the official avalanche bulletins of around 30 regional warning services in 21 countries into one consistent format, and translates the forecaster's text faithfully — no summaries, no rewrites.
Sources behind this listingSee source links, recorded dates and owner corrections.
Observed facts come from public pages. Founder-edited facts are supplied by the verified owner. AI-inferred facts are model interpretations; derived facts are calculated from other data. A source link lets you check the current page. It does not guarantee the fact is still current.
Dates show when a record was saved. Some older records use the listing’s update date; they are not proof of a fresh check. Missing source records are shown explicitly.
