In this paper some observations and their analysis are presented dealing with the link between seismic signals and avalanche flow. The measurements during the passage of avalanches showed a specific spindle pattern which was quite different from the one of natural earthquakes. The general trend strongly depended on the topographic features of the avalanche path, and as a result we could estimate avalanche velocity. The running power spectrum showed a meaningful shift of the dominant peak from the front to the rear part of the flow.
