Bregenzerwald Mountains

Only small amounts of fresh snow, low avalanche danger.

Only small amounts of fresh snow, low avalanche danger.

Avalanche danger is low. During the course of the day, mostly small-sized trigger-sensitive snowdrifts will accumulate above the timberline. Older snowdrift accumulations can still be triggered, particularly on shady slopes at high altitudes. Due to shallow snow depths, avalanches will remain small. Apart from being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to fall also require caution. Particularly in zones with rain impact, increasingly frequent small-sized glide-snow avalanches will again be possible.

Due to increasing winds, loosely-packed snow will be transported at high altitudes and, from place to place some snowdrifts will accumulate, mostly small-sized. Particularly in high-altitude ridgeline terrain, snowdrift accumulations frequently lie deposited on top of surface hoar. With ascending altitude, the small-sized older snowdrifts are still prone to triggering. At high altitudes, particularly on shady slopes, faceted intermediate layers occur inside the snowpack, these can often be triggered. On smooth, steep slopes, isolated small-sized glide-snow avalanches have been reported.

Nocturnal hours: heavily clouded, unstable and mild with intermittent snow showers above 1000-1500m. Sunday: cloudy skies with swiftly changing visibility. Intermittent rainfall or snowfall - snowfall level 1600 to 1900m. Temperature at 2000m: +1 degree. High-altitude winds: brisk to strong westerly winds.

On Sunday afternoon and on Monday, avalanche danger could increase somewhat due to some fresh fallen snow and strong winds. On Monday, mild temperatures are expected.
