Werdenfels Alps

At intermediate altitudes, small wet snow avalanches can trigger. Isolated avalanche prone locations (dry avalanches) at high altitudes.

At intermediate altitudes, small wet snow avalanches can trigger. Isolated avalanche prone locations (dry avalanches) at high altitudes.

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: wet snow. Small loose-snow slides can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain. Isolated small glide-snow avalanches cannot be ruled out on steep, smooth slopes. Only in isolated cases can small dry slab avalanches still be triggered on very steep shady high altitude slopes close to ridgelines.

Up to high altitudes thee snowpack is thoroughly moist or wet. Wide-spread, the snowpack is wet at the ground and can start sliding over smooth ground. Only on shady side slopes at highest altitudes is there still dry snow. In isolated cases there is a weak layer near the ground. Small snowdrifts accumulated close to ridges at high altitude. In south aspects, the snowpack has become patchy even at high altitude. In some places a few centimeters of loose snow are expected to fall above 1600m.
