Weak layers in persistent weak layers can still be disturbed in a few places

The avalanche risk is low. Above around 2200 metres, small slab avalanches can still be triggered in a few places in the west to north to east sector. Danger areas are located at the transition from little to more snow and generally next to blown-off areas as well as in the entrance areas to gullies and bowls filled with wind slab. Some of the avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. The risk of falling and injury generally outweighs the risk of burial, be careful in the area of terrain traps.

The snowpack is crusted can form and hard in the morning and softens again somewhat on the sunny slopes during the daytime changes. Only on shady slopes can the snow surface still be dry and soft or wind-treated in places. A thin, bound snow slab overlays a weak old snowpack, which now consists mainly of faceted crystals or deep rime. Prone to triggering weak layers are mainly found in the weak old snow foundation.

The night is clear at first, with a few clouds appearing in the morning. On Tuesday morning there will still be some sunshine in the mountains, then the clouds will thicken and visibility will become increasingly limited. At 2000 metres, the temperature will be -4 to -1 degrees. The wind will blow weakly to moderately from different directions.
