Chiemgau Alps East

Avoid areas below sliding snow cracks.

Avoid areas below sliding snow cracks.

The avalanche danger is low. Sliding snow is the problem. Below 2000 m, small, spontaneous sliding snow avalanches are possible on very steep slopes of all exposures with smooth ground.

At the highest altitudes, isolated drift snow can be problematic. The few danger spots are in the steep terrain close to the crest in the northern exposures. The drifting snow can be triggered as a small slab avalanche with a small additional load.

Some rain falls, especially in the western regions. Loose snow will become moist and lose its firmness. In the shaded areas at the highest altitudes, fresh and older drift snow lies on softer layers and may be prone to disruption in isolated cases. Up to the middle elevations, the snow cover at the transition to the ground will be widely wet.

The snow cover becomes increasingly damp with warm temperatures and rain. Wet snow becomes a problem.
