Border Graie Alps

The new snow must be evaluated with care and prudence at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Above approximately 2800 m the avalanche prone locations are prevalent and the danger is level 3 (considerable).

10 to 25 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. The new snow can be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies in particular in gullies and bowls on steep slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Medium-sized to large natural avalanches are possible. Below approximately 2800 m small and medium-sized dry and moist avalanches are possible. In the event of solar radiation this applies in particular. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection.

5 to 10 cm of snow will fall from midday above approximately 2200 m. Also below approximately 2800 m: In many cases new snow is lying on a moist old snowpack. In particular sunny slopes and south and east facing slopes: New snow is lying on a hard crust. Below approximately 1900 m hardly any snow is lying.
