Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep slopes above approximately 2400 m. Evening and night: Some new snow.

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in steep terrain at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions and on steep, little used shady slopes, in particular along the border with Switzerland. The avalanches are rather small and can mostly be released by large loads. As the temperature drops hardly any more natural avalanches are possible. The numerous rocks hidden by the recent snow are the main danger.

At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Below approximately 2200 m from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying. The weather conditions fostered a gradual strengthening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. Individual weak layers exist in the old snowpack on shady slopes.

Tuesday: New snow to low altitudes. Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and wind.
