Bregenzerwald Mountains

Slight daytime danger cycle

Slight daytime danger cycle

Avalanche danger is low. With rising temperatures and solar radiation, increasingly frequent moist slides and small wet snow avalanches are possible. On steep grass-covered slopes with sufficient snow or a smooth undersurface, increasingly frequent small glide-snow avalanches are possible. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate consideration.

The below-average old snowpack is well consolidated all in all and mostly stable. On shady slopes the uppermost crusts are often still powdery. Overnight a melt-freeze crust forms on sunny slopes and at lower altitudes. Due to rising temperatures and solar radiation, the snowpack gradually moistens further, as it becomes wet it also becomes weak.

Nocturnal skies will be predominantly clear. On Saturday, sunshine from morning until night, slight foehn influence. At 2000m: +3 degrees. Moderate winds at high altitudes. Brisk southerly winds in foehn lanes.

On Sunday no significant change anticipated, with slight daytime rise in avalanche danger levels
