Savinja Alps and Carinthia

Avalanche danger is low

Avalanche danger is low

Particularly near the ridges, areas of blown snow have formed, under which the snowpack is sheared off. In particular, even a light load can cause the Weak layer to collapse, in some cases even slipping into a small, folded avalanche.

Snow is scarce and local conditions are quite variable. A crust has formed on the surface in some places, which in many places also bears the weight of sand. In the axis, the snowpack is mostly dry, compacted and hard on the surface, and completely cut at depth. Ridges and peaks are in many places blown down to a crusted or icy base.

It will gradually become cloudy during the day. Highs will be occasionally cloudy. Showers will appear in the west in the evening. Around -2 °C at 1500 m and -4 °C at 2000 m.

Avalanche conditions will remain similar in the coming days. The weather will get worse over the weekend.
