Pay attention to exposed steep terrain at high altitudes!

Pay attention to exposed steep terrain at high altitudes!

The avalanche risk is mostly low. Nevertheless, there are a few avalanche prone locations due to wind slab. Occasionally, slab avalanches can still be triggered in the ridgeline and summit area, behind terrain edges and in steep bowls and gullies. The persistent weak layer problem can only occur very rarely on shady slopes and high up in extreme terrain.

In the ridgelines and summits, there are still older snowdrift accumulations in places. The old snowpack is mostly stable, up to high altitudes in the centre it is partly moist. At very high altitudes, the snow base, fundament is occasionally weakened.

On Monday, visibility will be good in the morning and the sun will shine. In the afternoon, clouds may restrict visibility and the light will become more diffuse. The wind will be weak to moderate in places. At 1500 m at noon 2 degrees, at 2000 m -2 degrees. Tuesday will be cloudy and sunny. Overall, it will be quite friendly again. However, high clouds will make the sky milky and in the morning the clouds will be even thicker. The wind will be mainly weak. Up to 2 degrees at 1500 metres and -2 degrees at 2000 metres.

Despite some new fallen snow, the avalanche situation hardly changes.
