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

Little snow will fall on Sunday. As a consequence of new snow and wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses. 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. They can be released, even by small loads in isolated cases, in particular on steep slopes. The avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow and reach medium size in isolated cases. Several small dry snow slides and avalanches are possible in all aspects.

Light snowfall above approximately 1200 m. 2 to 10 cm of snow fell on Tuesday above approximately 1200 m. 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 above approximately 1200 m. Little snow will fall. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses.
