Avalanche Activity

Avalanche danger is mostly low. Isolated glide-snow avalanches.

Isolated danger zones are evident in extremely steep terrain. Small avalanches are possible there. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being forced to take a fall also requires consideration. Particularly on sunny slopes, moist loose-snow slides are possible. On steep grass-covered slopes where snowfall has been heavier, small glide-snow avalanches are also possible.

Snowpack Structure

Due to milder temperatures, the snowpack has settled further and been able to consolidate. Fresh snow and drifts from recent days are generally well bonded with the old snowpack surface. During the daytime the uppermost layers are weakened due to higher temperatures and solar radiation. All in all, the snow depths are below average.

Weather Forecast

During the nighttime hours it will remain variably cloudy and dry. On Thursday, conditions will pleasant from the start, and some foehn impact will be felt. Clouds will become denser during the daytime, some light precipiation is expected in late afternoon. At 2000m: from +6 to -1 degree. Brisk to strong-velocity W/SW winds at high altitudes.

Tendency

Avalanche danger will increase slightly on Friday due to fresh fallen snow and wind impact.
