Hochschwab Mountains

Slight increase in avalanche danger during the day changes

The snowpack can consolidate on a clear night. A surface crust forms on the surface. However, it quickly softens again with sunlight and warming. In shady, higher areas, there are large crystals in the lower snow layering in some places, which act as a possible weak layer. At higher altitudes, the snowpack is also hard. The snow cover is rapidly thinning out.

It will continue to be quite sunny on Sunday. The wind will pick up a little and blow from the west to north-west at 50 to 70 km/h. The highest temperatures at 2000 metres from north to south will be between 2 and 6 degrees.

The sunny weather is here to stay. A few wet slides may come loose on the sunny slopes.

Slight increase in avalanche danger during the day changes

The avalanche danger is assessed as low. Small wet slides cannot be ruled out from terrain that has not yet been unloaded. These can detach themselves or be triggered by a small additional load from people and are usually small.
