Deferegger Alps East

The backcountry touring conditions are spring-like.

The backcountry touring conditions are spring-like.

The early morning will see quite favourable conditions mostly. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of wet avalanches. This applies in particular on west, south and east facing slopes at high altitude, as well as on shady slopes below approximately 2200 m. Backcountry tours should be concluded timely.

During the night the weather will be clear over a wide area. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. The spring-like weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack. This applies on steep sunny slopes, as well as on shady slopes below approximately 2200 m. Individual weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack on steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. This applies in particular above approximately 2600 m. Towards its base, the snowpack is well consolidated. Only a little snow is now lying.

The backcountry touring conditions are favourable.
