Avalanche Activity

Watch out for wet snow!

For Malá Fatra a low avalanche danger is declared (i.e. 1st degree of the 5-part international scale). Small spontaneous or mechanically released avalanches from wet snow can be expected on very steep slopes. Danger to skiers or hikers is especially likely in association with terrain traps. In places where a thick layer of snow is accumulated, there is a risk of medium-sized foundation avalanches. Beware, flowing avalanches have great destructive potential, even if they are slow!

Snowpack Structure

The remaining snow cover is already soaked throughout the profile. A strong southerly wind bringing very warm air does not allow the air temperature to drop below 0°C even during the night. The integrity of the snow cover in the Mala Fatra is already considerably compromised even on the main ridge.
