Western Carniche Prealps

On very steep sunny slopes the likelihood of avalanches being released is greater. The wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, in all aspects.

On very steep sunny slopes the likelihood of avalanches being released is greater. The wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, in all aspects.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more ground avalanches are possible as the day progresses, even medium-sized ones. In particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized dry slab avalanches are possible. In addition there is a danger of moist loose snow avalanches.

The snowpack is largely stable.
