Only few danger zones

Only few danger zones

Avalanche danger is LOW. Fresh snowdrift accumulations on east-facing slopes behind abrupt discontinuities in the terrain, in gullies and bowls - also distant from ridgelines - are the main danger. Particularly in steep ridgeline terrain they can trigger but are generally small-sized. Danger zones increase in frequency with ascending altitude, often cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Bonding of fresh snow and drifts is good. Faceted layers on shady wind-protected east-facing slopes have snowdrifts deposited atop them (faceted crystals, surface hoar).

On Sunday, heavy cloud right from the start, the peaks often shrouded. Light to moderate precipitation in all massifs, in some places snowfall down to the valley floor, in the afternoon only above 800-1300m. Winds will be moderate to brisk from the west, strong at high altitudes. At 2000m: -8 to -2 degrees.

As temperatures rise, the danger of wet loose-snow avalanches rises with them.
