Snowpack

The snow line on northern slopes is around 2000 m, on southern slopes between 2400 m and 2800 m. At high altitudes, there are patches of continuous snowpack in gullies and bowls on shady slopes. The snow depth increases significantly above 2800 m.

The past two weeks have been dry and sunny. While the snow largely melted on steep southern slopes up to high altitudes, the snowpack on shady slopes and in the high alpine regions in general began to facet. Distinct weak layers formed. Avalanches are easily triggered where fresh and drifted snow falls on this snowpack.

OutlookMonday

There will be widespread precipitation in the north, falling as snow above 1000 m to 1500 m. 20 to 40 cm of snow will fall at high altitudes. The northwesterly wind will be moderate. In the south, it will be partly sunny with moderate northerly winds.

The avalanche danger will increase in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation in the north.

Tuesday

During the night into Tuesday, there will still be a little precipitation above 600 m in the north, with sometimes strong northerly to northeasterly winds. During the day it will be sunny everywhere. The wind will be light to moderate.

Avalanche danger will decrease slowly.
