Low risk of isolated wet snow avalanches

Low risk of isolated wet snow avalanches

The avalanche risk is low. Occasional small wet snow avalanches are possible on the few sunny slopes that have not yet been discharged.

In addition, small snow slabs can still be triggered in exceptional cases in the entrance areas of steep gullies on shady slopes with large additional loads. The risk of being swept away and falling on icy surfaces generally outweighs the risk of burial.

The snowpack is moist to wet and well settled right up to the summit areas. Only a thin melt-freeze crust forms overnight. In the higher, on shady slopes, there are still weak layers of large faceted crystals in the lower part of the snowpack, especially close to the ground. Deep and sunny middle layers are covered with snow.

During the night, clouds will gradually gather and spread in the morning hours. On Wednesday, light rain showers are possible in the north in the morning. From midday, it will be dry everywhere again and the sun will appear at times. Spring clouds will form throughout the mountains. The wind will be light from westerly directions. Around 0 degrees at 2000 metres.

No significant change in the avalanche danger despite the cold front on Thursday.
