Valgrisenche

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2300 m.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2300 m.

As a consequence of new snow and wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded poorly. Several mostly small snow slides and avalanches are possible in all aspects. In many cases the avalanches are shallow but can be released even by a single winter sport participant, in particular on steep slopes. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2300 m. The avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow and reach medium size in isolated cases.

2 to 10 cm of snow fell on Sunday above approximately 1800 m. 2 to 10 cm of snow will fall on Monday above approximately 1500 m. Moderate southeasterly wind. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack on shady slopes. At intermediate and high altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The numerous rocks hidden by the recent snow are the main danger.

Wind and new snow: 2 to 10 cm of snow will fall on Tuesday above approximately 1200 m.
