Danger of falling on icy snow surfaces!

Danger of falling on icy snow surfaces!

The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow is the main problem. During the daytime changes, small loose snow avalanches can detach themselves from the rocky steep terrain with the sun's rays. Individual, smaller gliding avalanches are possible on very steep slopes with smooth ground that have not yet been discharged.

On shady, very steep slopes at higher elevations, medium slab avalanches can also be triggered in isolated cases with a large additional load. This is particularly the case at transitions from a little to a lot of snow.

The snowpack is soaked up to high altitudes and is often wet towards the ground. A stable melt-freeze crust forms overnight. It softens again in the sun and the snow loses its bond. On shady slopes, the snow surface remains hard and icy. Occasionally, weak layers of faceted crystals can be found deep in the snowpack on shady slopes at higher altitudes. These are covered by compact or crusted can form layers of snow. On the south side and at lower altitudes, the ground is becoming increasingly paler.

No significant change.
