Moderate avalanche danger at high altitudes!

Moderate avalanche danger at high altitudes!

The avalanche risk is moderate above 2000 metres and low below. Adjacent to ridgelines, behind terrain edges and in entrances to steep gullies and bowls, smaller slab avalanches can sometimes be triggered by individuals. Medium-sized avalanches are also possible in the northern sector.

The snow base, fundament is largely stable. Only in shady high areas does floating snow still weaken the snow layering. Older wind slabs can be found on the surface in places.

During the night to Friday it is mostly cloudless and during the day there is mostly good mountain weather. In the afternoon, the clouds will slowly increase and individual peaks will be covered in fog. The temperature at an altitude of 2000 metres will rise from -6 to -3 degrees during the day. Moderate winds from the north-east.

Saturday will bring clouds with some new fallen snow. The avalanche danger will hardly change.
