Mürzsteg Alps

Older danger spots in some places located in northern to eastern steep slopes in high altitudes.

Older danger spots in some places located in northern to eastern steep slopes in high altitudes.

Low avalanche danger. Danger spots are located in some places in northern to eastern steep slopes, snowdrift is prone to triggering and small slab avalanches can be triggered by small additional loads. Danger spots are partially covered by new snow. Danger of falling is higher than the danger of being buried.

The snow base can settle and is mostly stable. In higher altitudes, especially north and east, thin snowdrift deposits are partially on top of soft layers, partially on top of a hard and icy old snow cover. Above that a thin powder-like new snow layer is found. In general the snow cover is distributed unevenly and wet in medium altitudes. Blown-off areas are often hard and icy.

Increasing influence of a high pressure system coming from northwest. Saturday night will be clear and Sunday will be sunny with good visibility. Only in low altitudes it will be foggy in the morning. Weak northern to eastern winds. Temperatures at noon are around -6 degrees in 2.000 m and around -2 degrees . The whole next week will be dominated by high pressure, increasing temperatures and sunny weather.

Due to radiation and increasing temperatures the snow is settling and the avalanche danger is decreasing.
