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. Occasional spontaneous small avalanches or avalanches from wet snow may occur on all orientations. Their release poses a risk, especially in connection with falls over rock thresholds and other terrain traps.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover in our mountains is very varied. On the sunlit orientations, especially in the south, southwest and west, it is soaked by the sunlight and gets wet to the hard ground. On the other hand, on shaded orientations, the snow surface is very hard and load-bearing after night frosts. Depending on the orientation, a continuous snow cover can be found from 1200 m above sea level.
