Border Graie Alps

The avalanche prone locations are rather rare but are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility.

The fresh snow and the wind slabs are lying on a crust below approximately 2300 m. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. In all aspects snow depths vary greatly at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, depending on the infuence of the wind. Adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas at elevated altitudes hardly any snow is lying. At low and intermediate altitudes from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Little snow will fall in some localities. The avalanche danger will persist.

The avalanche prone locations are rather rare but are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in some places. Avalanches can penetrate deep layers and reach medium size in isolated cases. In addition the avalanche prone wind slabs should be taken into account. They can at their margins be released, in particular by large loads and reach medium size. This applies in particular in little used terrain along the border with France. In the other regions and on sunny slopes the avalanches are less common.
