The currently adopted approach to avalanche hazard mapping in northern Italyincludes avalanche dynamic modelling, coupled with statistical analysis ofsnow depth at avalanche start. The 30-years and 300-years return periodavalanches at a given site are modelled and their run out zone and pressureare evaluated. The snow depth in the avalanche release zone is assumed tocoincide with the three days snow fall depth H72 featuring a returnperiod of 30 years and 300 years, respectively. In the Italian alps onlyshort series of observed snow depth are available, covering a period of 20years or so, thus requiring a regional approach, or index value approach for thepurpose of high return period quantile estimation. Based of former studies,here we apply the index value approach developed for the Lombardia region,in northern Italy, for hazard mapping in a particular avalanche site. Adynamic avalanche model is tuned using the runout data for two majorobserved avalanche events. Then, the 30-years and 300-years runout zone anddynamic pressure are calculated. It is then shown that the obtained hazardmaps are more accurate than those obtained using the evaluation ofH72 as deduced from distribution fitting in a single site
