Ammergau Alps South

Wet snow represents the main danger.

Wet snow represents the main danger.

Wet avalanches can in some places be released by small loads, especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes. As a consequence of the rain individual natural avalanches are possible. Avalanches can in very isolated cases release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size, in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m.

The snowpack will be wet all the way through over a wide area. Up to 2200 m rain will fall. The snowpack will be weakly bonded in particular on very steep shady slopes. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. On steep sunny slopes only a little snow is now lying.

The danger of wet avalanches will persist.
