Abstract 

The principles of using GIS for the study and mapping of avalanche geocomplexes, as well as the geospatial analysis of the distribution of centers of process development are described. The factors and features of the development of snow avalanche processes, the nature of their distribution in the geocomplexes of the highlands of Chornohora, etc. are characterized. On the example of the key area of ​​the headwaters of the Mreye Stream basin, the peculiarities of the placement of avalanche geocomplexes in the highland of massif are presented, which affect the dynamics and are an important element of the morphological structure of large glacial-exaration landscape complexes – corries, cirques, glacial troughs.
