Wet avalanches are only to be expected in a few places.

Wet avalanches are only to be expected in a few places.

The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow can be problematic in rare cases. Occasionally, wet loose snow avalanches or wet gliding avalanches on slippery ground can detach themselves in extremely steep terrain. Avalanche activity is largely limited to on shady slopes and very to extremely steep terrain with sufficient snow. Wet avalanches usually remain small.

It rains most of the time and the water content of the already wet snowpack increases further. The snow loses firmness. Only at higher altitudes does some snow fall, which comes to rest on a wet, previously patchy snowpack on the north side and on a loose base on the south side.

The avalanche danger is not changing. Wet avalanches are becoming increasingly rare.
