Avalanche Activity

Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Some snow has fallen since Friday. Several small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized dry avalanches are possible. The wind slabs are mostly shallow but can be released in isolated cases. These avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are difficult to recognise.

Snowpack Structure

20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last five days above approximately 1500 m. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year in all altitude zones.
