Moist and wet avalanches are the main danger.

Moist and wet avalanches are the main danger.

The conditions are spring-like. In some localities increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. More mostly small natural moist avalanches are possible, in particular on steep sunny slopes. Low and intermediate altitudes: Avalanches can in some places be released in the old snowpack on steep shady slopes. These avalanche prone locations are rare and are therefore barely recognisable.

The conditions are spring-like. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften quickly. This applies in particular below approximately 2600 m. On sunny slopes between approximately 2200 and 2400 m from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying. In the last few days the natural activity of moist and wet avalanches has gradually increased. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack especially at intermediate and high altitudes. Less snow than usual is lying. At low and intermediate altitudes from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

The conditions remain spring-like.
