Low avalanche danger, but isolated avalanche prone locations adjacent to the ridgeline due to fresh snowdrift accumulations.

Low avalanche danger, but isolated avalanche prone locations adjacent to the ridgeline due to fresh snowdrift accumulations.

The avalanche danger is generally low. However, isolated snowdrift accumulations have formed adjacent to the ridgeline, which can trigger small slab avalanches under slight additional load.

The new fallen snow of the past few days has been partly transported to the eastern and southern sectors by strong north and north-westerly winds in the high altitudes, where snowdrift accumulations have formed. Between the snowdrift accumulations and the crusted old snowpack, there is sometimes a weak layer of surface hoar or faceted crystals.

Monday night will be cloudless and the north-westerly wind will weaken for a few hours. During the day, the sun will shine again, but the wind will pick up again and may reach gale force in the eastern mountain groups. The temperature at an altitude of 2000 metres will be between +5 degrees in the morning and +2 degrees in the evening. A disturbance will move through from the north-west on Tuesday, but it will only bring a little snow south of the main Alpine ridge.

The avalanche danger remains low on Tuesday.
