Chiemgau Alps East

Little snow, few avalanches.

Little snow, few avalanches.

The avalanche danger is low. Wet snow is the problem. Individual, small, wet sliding snow avalanches slide off spontaneously on very steep slopes with smooth ground that have not yet been discharged. Where there is still snow on extremely steep terrain, it can descend as a small, wet loose snow avalanche, especially on the south side.

The snow cover has become wet up to high altitudes. It only freezes superficially at night in open areas protected from the wind. With warm temperatures and sunshine, the remaining snow cover soaks quickly during the day and loses its firmness. At the highest elevations, isolated layers of angular crystals remain. Overall, the snow cover has decreased considerably. The lower layers are thinning out.

The avalanche danger remains low.
