The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow is the main problem. Small loose snow avalanches can occasionally detach themselves from the rocky steep terrain with the sunlight. On very steep slopes of all aspects with smooth ground, individual small to medium gliding avalanches are possible. Areas under glide cracks should be avoided.

On shaded steep slopes above approx. 1700 m, medium-sized slab avalanches with a large additional load can also be triggered. The isolated avalanche prone locations are mainly at transitions from little to much snow, for example at the entrance to gullies and bowls.

The snowpack is soaked up to high altitudes and wet towards the ground. Overnight, a partially stable melt-freeze crust forms, which quickly softens again in the sun. Occasionally, weak layers of faceted crystals can be found deep in the snowpack on shady slopes at higher altitudes. These are usually covered by compact or crusted can form layers of snow. On the south-south side, the ground is increasingly pitting.

The avalanche danger hardly changes.
