Progressive deaperisation

Progressive deaperisation

The avalanche risk is moderate above 1500 metres and low below that. Wet snow is problematic. Wet loose snow and slab avalanches are to be expected, especially at high altitudes where there is still a lot of snow. In extremely steep terrain in all aspects of the slope, they detach themselves; on very steep slopes, they can be triggered by individuals. On steep slopes with smooth ground, such as on meadow slopes, in patchy mountain forests or on smooth rock slabs, wet gliding avalanches occur. Avalanches reach medium size.

The snowpack is soaked up to high altitudes. At higher altitudes, there are a few centimetres of soft, moist snow on a largely stable and, on shady slopes in particular, still thick old snowpack. In places, layers of faceted crystals have been preserved deeper in the snowpack at high altitudes exposed to the north. On the south side, the ground is already bare again above the tree line.

Little change.
