Avalanche Activity

also on hiking trails: risks of being buried in snow masses

Avalanche danger is moderate. Main danger: wet snow. Naturally triggered wet loose-snow, slab and glide-snow avalanches are possible at any time of day or night in zones which have not yet discharged and can be expected to be of medium size, but occasionally large-sized releases. Even on hiking trails over ground which is bare of snow, wet avalanches can be released on the slopes above them.

Snowpack Structure

Up to high altitudes the snowpack in the Bavarian Alps is thoroughly wet down to the ground, including in the highest mountain zones. Due to higher temperatures and rainfall, the danger of naturally triggered avalanche activity persists. At low altitudes the ground is rapidly becoming bare of snow, particularly on sunny slopes.

Tendency

The wet-snow problem will persist.
