Chiemgau Alps East

The danger of falling outweighs the danger of burial.

The danger of falling outweighs the danger of burial.

The avalanche risk is low. Small slab avalanches can be triggered in places with little additional load in the wind slab. The few avalanche prone locations are mainly in the steep terrain adjacent to ridgelines in the west, north and east aspects as well as in gullies and bowls.

Individual, small loose snow avalanches can detach themselves from the steep terrain interspersed with rocks. Small gliding avalanches are possible on smooth, steep meadow slopes.

Small-scale wind slab lies partly prone to triggering on a soft layer of snow or on a thin crust. In most cases, however, it is well connected and lies directly on a load-bearing crust can form on the old snow surface or the previously apery ground. At higher altitudes, there are still isolated faceted layers deep in the persistent weak layer on the shady slopes. Overnight, a melt-freeze crust forms on the snow surface, which quickly softens again during the day in the sun. Overall, there is little snow.

No change in avalanche danger.
