Avalanche danger is low. Main danger: wet snow. Naturally triggered wet loose-snow, slab and glide-snow avalanches are possible at any time of day or night in zones which have not yet discharged and can be expected to be of small sized. Even on hiking trails over ground which is bare of snow, wet avalanches can be released on the slopes above them.

Some sunshine, mild temperatures up to high altitudes, further naturally triggered small-to-medium loose-snow and glide-snow avalanches possible. The snowpack in the Bavarian Alps is thoroughly wet, at intermediate altitudes often down to ground level, thus forfeiting much of its firmness. The snowpack has receded much of its magnitude, north-facing slopes are bare up to 1400 m, sunny slopes up to summit zones at intermediate altitudes.

The next few days will have variable weather conditions. The wet-snow problem will persist.
