Rare release points and risk of injury from stones.

The risk of avalanches is low, but injury from stones and falling remain the main dangers. In gullies and bowls adjacent to the ridgeline, crests or summits in shady slopes, there are very occasional difficult to points in the persistent weak layer. Only very rarely can drift snow packs be triggered by individual triggered by individuals. Avalanches remain small.

There is a below-average amount of snow and the snow cover, snowpack is highly variable in the interior. In shady slopes, there are isolated weak layers of faceted crystals in the snow cover, snowpack mostly in the vicinity of crusts. Due to the overall strongly built up snow cover, the potential for fracture propagation is generally low.

On Tuesday, there is often still good visibility in Lungau with some sun at the beginning. Soon more clouds move through clouds move through, but only traces of snow arrive in the Nockberge. The wind will blow in exposed areas from the north-west in exposed areas. Temperatures at 2000 metres will be around -11 degrees.

The avalanche danger remains low on Wednesday.
