Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger, beware small snowdrift patches at high altitudes

Low avalanche danger, beware small snowdrift patches at high altitudes

Avalanche danger is generally low. Main danger: snowdrifts. On high altitude east-facing slopes, isolated danger zones caused by snowdrifts.

Due to small amounts of fresh fallen snow and storm-strength NW winds, isolated snowdrift accumulations have been generated on east-facing slopes which at high altitudes are often poorly bonded with the surface. At lower altitudes, a melt-freeze crust is forming. The fundament is still stable.

On the southern flank of the Alps, cloudless skies right from the start. The NW winds will be brisk to stormy, on the eastern rim of the Alps gusts over 100 km/hr can be expected. At 2000 m: -7 degrees, the wind making it feel even colder.

On Sunday, sunny and mild, hardly any wind, diminishing avalanche danger.
