No change in avalanche danger

There is a risk of falling on hard snow surfaces.

The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow is the main problem. Occasionally, small loose snow avalanches can detach themselves from the steep terrain interspersed with rocks. Individual, smaller gliding avalanches are possible on very steep slopes with smooth ground that have not yet been discharged.

On shady, very steep slopes at higher altitudes, medium slab avalanches can also be triggered in isolated cases with a large additional load. This is particularly the case at transitions from a little to a lot of snow.

The snowpack is soaked up to high altitudes and is often wet towards the ground. Overnight outgoing longwave radiation is limited and the snow surface is only partially crusted can form in the morning. As it warms up during the day, the snow softens, especially in the sun, and loses its bond. Occasionally, weak layers of faceted crystals can be found deep in the snowpack on shady slopes adjacent to the higher peaks and summits. They are covered by compact or crusted can form layers of snow. On the south side and at lower altitudes, the ground is becoming increasingly paler.
