Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger, little snow

Avalanche danger is LOW. Danger zones are found only in isolated cases on shady high altitude slopes, where potential weak layers inside the snowpack can be triggered.

Snowpack Structure

The shallow and small snowdrift masses have been able to settle in the mild temperatures and bond to the old snowpack. The expansive metamorphosis inside the old snowpack fundament continues, which weakens further those deeply embedded layers. In general the snow depths are extremely below average.

Weather Synopsis

On Friday, heavy cloud cover will dominate, the northern peaks will disappear in clouds over the course of the day. In the western mountain massifs, snow showers are possible and the NW winds will intensify. At midday at 2000 m: -1 degree, dropping further down by evening.

Tendency

On Saturday, residual clouds will disperse in the Northern Alps, sunny weather will reign. In the afternoon, clouds will move in from the west, winds will shift to southwesterly. At 2000 m: -4 rising to 0 degrees. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
