Monregalese Valleys

With the end of the intense snowfall, the natural avalanche activity will gradually decrease. It is inadvisable to engage in backcountry touring in steep terrain.

With the end of the intense snowfall, the natural avalanche activity will gradually decrease. It is inadvisable to engage in backcountry touring in steep terrain.

The new snow can be released easily or naturally. In the typical avalanche paths the avalanches can reach fairly large size and in some places endanger transportation routes that are exposed. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from northeasterly directions, sometimes deep wind slabs formed in particular at elevated altitudes. This also applies adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches in many places, including large ones. The avalanche prone locations are prevalent.

Over a wide area 70 to 120 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Monday above approximately 1500 m. In the course of the day further wind slabs will form at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.

The weather conditions will facilitate a gradual stabilisation of the snowpack.
