Regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 3 (considerable): In these regions the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and the danger is slightly greater.

The fresh snow of the last two days as well as the wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in some places. Small to medium-sized natural dry avalanches are possible. Fresh wind slabs can be released. This applies in particular on very steep slopes. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Individual weak layers exist in the old snowpack. These avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye, caution is to be exercised in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow,, this also applies in places that are protected from the wind, this also applies in little used backcountry terrain.

5 to 20 cm of snow will fall on Monday. Especially along the border with Italy and in the regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 3 (considerable) 10 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell on Sunday above approximately 2000 m. In some places new snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on shady slopes. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. At low and intermediate altitudes less snow than usual is lying. Adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas and at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions a little snow is lying.

The avalanche danger will persist.
