Towards its surface, the snowpack is hard and its surface has a strong melt-freeze crust, in the event of a clear night especially.

Intermediate and high altitudes: Weak layers exist in the snowpack especially on west, north and northeast facing slopes. In particular in the vicinity of peaks snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.
In particular on cut and grassy slopes more small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible, in particular above approximately 1600 m. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. The weather conditions will cause a slight rise in the danger of moist avalanches as the day progresses. Especially above approximately 2200 m: Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in some place by winter sport participants.
