Samnaun Mountains

As a consequence of warming and solar radiation a moderate danger of wet avalanches will prevail.

As a consequence of warming and solar radiation a moderate danger of wet avalanches will prevail.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more small and medium-sized wet snow slides and avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. In addition a certain danger of gliding avalanches exists, especially on steep grassy slopes in the regions with a lot of snow. Dry avalanches can in very isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2600 m. Bases of rock walls are especially unfavourable.

Over a wide area a partly clear night. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to softening of the snowpack below approximately 2400 m. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. This applies in particular on steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2600 m. Towards its base, the snowpack is well consolidated. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is now lying.

The conditions in the morning are mostly favourable. Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
