Lechtal Alps East

Wet snow requires caution.

Wet snow requires caution.

Wet avalanches can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies especially below approximately 2600 m.

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted at times. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will soften quickly. Shady slopes above approximately 2500 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack at elevated altitudes. On steep sunny slopes as well as below approximately 1800 m hardly any snow is lying.

A clear night will be followed in the early morning by favourable conditions generally. Gradual increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
