Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow can be problematic. Isolated small loose snow avalanches can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain during the course of the day. Isolated small glide-snow avalanches can still occur on steep, smooth slopes.
During a partly clear night a melt-freeze crust will form at the snowpack surface which will soften again during the course of the day. The snowpack is wet down to ground layers and can start gliding over smooth ground. You will now mostly only still find a cohesive snow cover on shady side slopes above approx. 1500m. Frequently, south-facing terrain is almost completely bare.
Slight increase of avalanche danger on Saturday because of rain and new fallen snow.
