Avalanche Activity

Beware of wet avalanches on all orientations.

There is a low avalanche danger in the Fatras and the eastern part of the Low Tatras. Avalanches are generally possible on very steep slopes with high additional loads. Spontaneous small avalanches or avalanches from wet snow may occur in all orientations due to rain and warming. Their release poses a risk, especially in connection with falls over rock thresholds and other terrain traps.

Snowpack Structure

In the Fatras and the eastern part of the Low Tatras, the snow cover is mainly deposited in the troughs and the highest positions of the ridges. In all mountain ranges, the snow cover is expected to suddenly lose its firmness and break through to the hard ground. The height of the snow cover varies from 20 to 80 cm depending on orientation and altitude. A continuous snow cover is found from 1300 m above sea level.
