Deferegger Alps East

The backcountry touring conditions are spring-like.

The backcountry touring conditions are spring-like.

The early morning will see favourable conditions mostly. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of wet avalanches, in particular on very steep sunny slopes. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong northwesterly wind, small wind slabs will form in the afternoon in the regions exposed to precipitation.

During the night the weather will be partly cloudy. The spring-like weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack. This applies in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m. Towards its base, the snowpack is well consolidated. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is now lying.

The conditions in the morning are mostly favourable. Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
