Chiemgau Alps East

On the south side, the ground is increasingly pitting up to the summits.

On the south side, the ground is increasingly pitting up to the summits.

The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow is the main problem. In particular, small loose snow avalanches can detach themselves from the rocky steep terrain in the sunlight. Smaller gliding avalanches are possible on individual, very steep slopes with smooth ground.

On very steep north-facing slopes at higher altitudes, small slab avalanches can also be triggered with a large additional load. This is particularly the case at transitions from a little to a lot of snow.

The night is generally clear. Early in the morning, the snow surface is still frozen hard. It softens relatively quickly with the sunlight. The surface snow loses firmness. Occasionally, weak layers of faceted crystals can be found deep under a compact snowpack on the shady slopes of higher summits and areas adjacent to the summit. The snowpack is otherwise moist to wet. There is hardly any snow at low altitudes.

The avalanche danger remains low.
