Lechtal Alps East

Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.

Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.

Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can be released in very isolated cases on wind-loaded slopes. This applies in particular on very steep shady slopes between approximately 2100 and 2300 m. Avalanches can additionally in very isolated cases be released in near-ground layers at high altitude. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines. They are very rare but are difficult to recognise. In many places there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

The snowpack will be in most cases stable. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack. Isolated whumpfing sounds are a clear indication. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack, in particular on shady slopes at high altitude in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow.

Low avalanche danger will persist.
