Low avalanche danger, little new fallen snow.

The avalanche risk is low. A little soft new fallen snow and thin, localised pillows of wind drifted snow (in particular in the extended eastern exposures) cover stones and previously hard or icy surfaces. surfaces. In general, the risk of injury and falling outweighs the risk of burial.

A few centimetres of soft new fallen snow (up to around 5 cm) as well as some thin wind slabs cover the previously bare ground or the hard, icy surface of old snow. If present, the thin snow base, fundament is weakened by persistent weak layers.

Accumulating fresh snow in the morning and repeated snowfall during the day will bring a widespread 5 cm of new fallen snow by Thursday evening, locally up to 10 cm. However, the intensity will already decrease noticeably in the morning, but visibility will remain poor and clouds will remain dense. The wind will blow moderately to brisk from west to northwest. At 2000 metres it will cool down to around -6 degrees.

No significant change in avalanche danger.
