Above approximately 2000 m snow will fall. Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. The large quantity of fresh snow as well as the wind slabs formed by the strong wind represent the main danger.

The large quantity of fresh snow as well as the wind slabs formed by the strong wind represent the main danger. The new snow and wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in deep layers reach large size especially on steep north, northwest and northeast facing slopes.
The new snow and wind slabs are lying on the quite favourable surface of an old snowpack above approximately 2200 m. Weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on steep north, northeast and northwest facing slopes.
