Snowpack Structure

5 to 15 cm of snow will fall until late in the night above approximately 1500 m. The old snowpack will be in most cases well bonded. Snow depths vary greatly at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, depending on the infuence of the wind. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying.

Avalanche Activity

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions and on very steep slopes.

Above approximately 1500 m snow will fall until late in the night. As a consequence of a light to moderate wind from westerly directions, small wind slabs will form from the second half of the night. These can in isolated cases be released by people. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep slopes. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.
