Avalanche Activity

Take care on hiking trails below steep slopes with lots of snow.

The avalanche risk is low in the morning and increases to moderate during the daytime changes. Gliding avalanches can occur at any time of day in all aspects on steep slopes with smooth ground that have not yet been discharged. Glide cracks indicate the danger. With sunlight, wet snow becomes the main problem during the day changes. Especially in extremely steep terrain, wet loose snow avalanches release themselves. Avalanches can reach medium size and hit exposed hiking trails.
