Favorable conditions, with slight daytime rise in avalanche danger

Avalanche danger is predominantly low. Isolated danger zones occur particularly in extremely steep terrain. Small avalanche triggerings are mostly possible in relatively shallow-snow areas and in transitions from shallow to deep snow. Beware the danger of sliding and falling on hard-frozen steep slopes. During the course of the day, naturally triggered small-sized avalanches are possible on sun-basked steep slopes. Avoid zones beneath glide cracks.

Snowpack predominantly well consolidated and stable following a night of clear skies with good outgoing radiation. A melt-freeze crust mostly capable of bearing loads. During the course of the day the uppermost layers will soften, particularly at low altitudes and on sunny slopes. No further triggerings in older weak layers of the snowpack were registered in recent days at the Avalanche Warning Service.

Brilliant sunshine from morning till night, cloudless skies. The air masses will be warmer than recently, with slight foehn tendencies. Temperature at 2000m: 6 degrees; at 3000m: -2 degrees. Light to moderate southerly winds at high altitudes.
