Progressive deaperisation

The avalanche risk is moderate above 1600 metres and low below that. Wet snow is problematic. Wet loose snow and slab avalanches are to be expected above all at high altitudes where there is still a lot of snow. In extremely steep terrain in all aspects of the slope, they release 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 and consists mainly of snowmelt. In places, layers of faceted crystals are still preserved deep in the snowpack at high altitudes exposed to the north. On the south side, the ground is covered in snow up to above the tree line.

Little change.
