Avalanche Activity

New fallen snow on the highest peaks

Precipitation has been falling since Thursday, outside the highest peaks in the form of rain, which has soaked the snowpack. As the snowfall level is high, only the highest peaks will be covered with snow.

Snowpack Structure

The old snow cover is made up of layers of bonded snow that are already somewhat compacted and mostly well connected. A depth hoar has formed at the interface between the snowpack and the ground.

Weather Forecast

Initially still cloudy and foggy with snow showers, which will taper off in the afternoon. Clouds will break up in the afternoon. There will be moderate to strong northerly winds. It will be colder. The temperature at 1500 m will be around -5 °C.

Tendency

The danger of avalanches will remain similar.
