Low avalanche danger, but avoid fresh pillows of wind drifted snow!

The avalanche danger is assessed as "low". Nevertheless, isolated pillows of wind drifted snow can be triggered as small slab avalanches.

Persistent winds still lead to the formation of small pillows of wind drifted snow, which are deposited on a hard old snowpack and are usually sufficiently bonded to it. There is generally little snow.

Wednesday will be variably cloudy and windy south of the main Alpine ridge. Visibility will be partially obstructed at summit level. The temperature at 2000 metres above sea level will be between -4 and -6 degrees. The wind will be strong in the east and brisk from the north-east in the west.

Thursday will be mostly cloudy with a persistent northerly wind. The avalanche risk remains low.
