Avalanche Activity

From late morning the likelihood of natural wet avalanches being released will increase.

As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase especially on extremely steep sunny slopes. More frequent wet loose snow avalanches are to be expected, but they will be mostly small. The runout zones are to be treated with caution. Backcountry tours should be concluded early.
