Avalanche Activity

Isolated danger zones due to gliding snow

The avalanche situation is quite favorable in general. On very steep grass-covered slopes, small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized glide-snow avalanches are possible above 1800 m. Avoid zones below glide cracks. The danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is generally stable. Due to warmth of the ground and moistness of the snowpack, increased glide-snow activity can be expected.

Weather Forecast

Star-studded skies on Tuesday night, dry air. On Wednesday, sunny weather, good for backcountry tours, though with some high-altitude cloudbanks passing through (good visibility). Only in the Osterhorn range will there be more cloud cover. Winds light to moderate, in afternoon in high-alpine regions brisk westerly winds in the Northern Alps. At 2000 m: 0 degrees; at 3000 m: -5 degrees.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
