Chiemgau Alps East

Risk of falling and injury on crust can form surfaces.

Risk of falling and injury on crust can form surfaces.

The avalanche risk is low. Occasional small slab avalanches can be triggered, in particular with large additional loads in the persistent weak layer. Avalanche prone locations are located above around 1800 m on extremely steep shady slopes. The risk of falling and injury is greater than the danger of burial.

At medium elevations, the snowpack can form a crust in the morning before softening with the sun over the course of the daytime changes. On shady slopes at higher altitudes (above approx. 1500 metres), the snow is well settled and powdery. Large, faceted crystals often form the snow base, fundament. The south-facing slopes are largely snowed out.

Avalanche danger remains low.
