Avalanche Activity

From late morning the likelihood of natural wet avalanches being released will increase.

As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the danger of wet avalanches. More frequent wet avalanches are to be expected, even medium-sized ones. This applies especially on extremely steep sunny slopes. The runout zones are to be avoided. Backcountry tours should be concluded early.
