Low avalanche danger! No change in the avalanche situation is expected.

The avalanche risk between the Totes Gebirge and the Schladminger Tauern is assessed as low. Isolated avalanche prone locations can be found in extremely steep gullies above 2400 metres in the northern sector. The old snowpack is only covered by a few centimetres of new fallen snow. The danger of falling is more dominant than the danger of avalanches!

The snowpack surface is mostly hard and icy, with sunny slopes up to over 2000 metres above sea level. Only a few centimetres of new fallen snow have been added. Below the melting hard crust, the kinetic metamorphism is weakening the snow layering on the northern sides.

From the Turrach to the Veitsch, the last snowflakes will disappear in the morning and the weather will become lighter or softer. The mountain weather is much friendlier in the Schladminger Tauern and Dachstein region. The sun will also make an appearance here. A southeast wind will bring sunshine during the daytime changes and the frost will begin to ease. At an altitude of 2000 metres at midday between -6 degrees on the Koralpe and -3 degrees in the Totes Gebirge. On 26 December, the clouds will clear and it will be sunny. Temperatures rise at 2000 metres. It will be milder again.

The avalanche danger remains low. The Styrian Avalanche Warning Service wishes you a Merry Christmas.
