Avalanche Activity

Few danger zones in backcountry touring terrain

Avalanche danger is subject to a daytime danger cycle. In the morning, favourable touring conditions prevail. Avalanche danger increases during the course of the day. Naturally triggered slab avalanches and loose-snow avalanches can trigger from zones which have not yet discharged. At intermediate altitudes, naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches are possible in all aspects.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack was able to settle well over the last few days. On sunny slopes a melt-freeze crust quickly softens and the snowpack becomes moist-to-wet.
