Avalanche Activity

Usually too little snow for ski tours.

The avalanche risk is low. Small avalanches can be triggered, especially with large additional loads. The few avalanche prone locations are found on very steep slopes in the northern and eastern aspects, especially when entering gullies and bowls. Particularly in the Allgäu and in the highest areas of the Berchtesgaden Alps also in the area of small-scale wind slab.

Snowpack Structure

At higher altitudes, bonded snow lies on angular snow layers in places. Crack propagation over larger areas is not to be expected. Small snowdrift accumulations could develop, especially in the Allgäu and at the highest elevations of the Berchtesgaden Alps. Overall, there is little snow and ground contact is to be expected.
