Avalanche Activity

Major danger: wet-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is moderate. As a result of the mild temperatures and rain impact, increasingly frequent wet-snow slides and glide-snow avalanches are possible. These slides and avalanches can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts. Due to the low snow depths, the avalanches will be small.

Snowpack Structure

Due to rainfall on Monday, the shallow snowpack was weakened further at low and intermediate altitudes. During the nighttime hours it can consolidate slightly on the surface. During daytime hours it swiftly softens up again. Above 2000m, strong-velocity winds initially transported the fresh snow and generated small snowdrift accumulations.

Weather Forecast

Skies on Monday night will be clear or slightly cloudy. Tuesday: sunshine from early until late. High-altitude cloudbanks will occasionally create diffuse light conditions. The air is very dry, ensuring good visibility. Temperature at 2000m: +8 degrees. High-altitude winds: in high alpine regions blowing at moderate strength from the west.

Tendency

Very sunny, very mild. Increasingly frequent small-to-medium sized wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches are thus possible.
