Too little snow for ski tours off the secured pistes.

Too little snow for ski tours off the secured pistes.

The avalanche risk is low. Occasionally, fresh wind slab snow is problematic above the tree line. Small snow slabs can be triggered in a few places in steep terrain in the north-west to north to east aspects. The risk of falling and injury is greater than the danger of burial.

At higher altitudes, small snowdrift accumulations lie in some places on surface hoar or thin wind and melt-freeze crusts that are prone to triggering. The old snowpack often consists of rounded, angular crystals. At lower altitudes (below 1500 metres), the snowpack is damp or wet.

With falling temperatures and new fallen snow, the avalanche risk increases slightly at the weekend.
