Low avalanche danger with mostly little snow.
The avalanche risk is low. Small slab avalanches can be triggered in a few places at high altitudes in steep gullies and bowls. Avalanche prone locations are covered by a thin layer of snow and are often difficult to recognise. In general, the risk of entrainment, falling and injury outweighs the risk of burial. However, be careful in the area of terrain traps.
There is still little snow. The snowpack is damp or crusted can form in places. In the higher elevations, however, angular snow crystals are still weakening the stability on shady slopes. Above this, in the extended eastern sector, there may also be a thin, bound layer, which in some cases is not well bonded to the old snowpack.
In the night to Monday, high fog will establish itself again, reaching up to 2000 metres. On the southern side of the Alps, there may be isolated light snowfall. The snowfall level there will drop from 1100 to 900 metres. During the day, the high fog and low cloud will persist for the most part, only clearing in places. Temperatures at 1500 metres will be between -3 and 0 degrees with moderate winds from the southeast.
No significant change in avalanche danger.
