Partly little snow: Be aware of the risk of falling and injury!

Avalanche danger remains low.

Partly little snow: Be aware of the risk of falling and injury!

The avalanche danger is low. Sliding snow is the main problem at medium altitudes. On very steep, smooth ground, for example on meadows, in forest aisles and on rock slabs, individual smaller sliding snow avalanches can detach themselves. Areas below sliding snow cracks should be avoided.

At high altitudes, drifting snow can be problematic, especially on very steep slopes close to the crest with exposures from west to north to east. Small slab avalanches can occasionally be triggered there with a small additional load.

At medium elevations, the snow cover is moist and compact, often wet at the base. Overnight, a snow cover forms in many places. At higher altitudes, the snow cover is dry. Here, small accumulations of drifting snow develop close to the crest with winds from southerly directions. On shady slopes, layers of angular crystals have been preserved in the old snow in places.
