Valgrisenche

New snow and weakly bonded old snow represent the main danger.

Down to low altitudes snow has fallen since Sunday. 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell during the night above approximately 2000 m. The large quantity of fresh snow as well as the wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack in all aspects. New snow is lying on old snow containing large grains. Tuesday: 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1800 m. The northwesterly wind will transport the new snow.

Some small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized dry avalanches are possible as a consequence of solar radiation.

New snow and weakly bonded old snow represent the main danger.

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. Large quantities of fresh snow and the wind-drifted snow of the last two days are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on shady slopes, also on sunny slopes above approximately 2600 m. During the day: In localities where more snow falls the avalanche danger is greater. This applies especially on very steep northeast, east and south facing slopes above approximately 2500 m on wind-loaded slopes. Here natural avalanches, capable of reaching a long way, must be expected. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches in many places, including large ones. Careful route selection and spacing between individuals are recommended. Off-piste activities call for caution.
