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. Occasionally, small slab avalanches with large additional loads can be triggered in the persistent weak layer. Avalanche prone locations are located on extremely steep shady slopes above 1600 metres. 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 powdery on the surface. The snowpack is compact and the sinking depths are shallow. Faceted crystals often form the snow base, fundament. The southern sides are largely snowed out.

Avalanche danger remains low.
