Avalanche problems

  • Gliding snow

    • Below 2,200 m

Avalanche Activity

On very steep grass-covered slopes, mostly small-sized glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally.

Snowpack Structure

Due to often strong southerly winds, the latest bout of fresh snowfall was transported to highest-altitude ridgeline terrain and exposed terrain, on north-facing slopes to loose snowpack surface. On sunny slopes the most recent snowfall is already bonded. The snowpack beneath it is generally well consolidated. At lower altitudes the fresh snow often fell on bare ground.

Weather Forecast

Dense clouds, peaks often in fog, poor visibility. In the morning, light snowfall is possible, esp. between Allgau Alps, Bregenzerwald mountains and the Prealps. In afternoon bright intervals possible, but limited visibility. At 2000m: -6 degrees to -4 degrees. Light to moderate S/SW winds.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
