Snowpack Structure

The snow cover froze and stabilised due to the strong warming and rain, and the subsequent cooling. Newer snow is generally only found at altitudes above 1900 m above sea level and even here it is very irregularly distributed. Strong winds, which changed direction, transported it to leeward places and created snow slabs and pillows. The snow cover is well below average at altitudes up to 1200 m above sea level.

Tendency

Constant avalanche danger

Avalanche Activity

Favourable situation.

Avalanche danger is only LOW (1) in all mountains below 1900 m above sea level. Avalanches are generally not expected. Smaller avalanches can only be released locally on steep slopes and with high additional loads, especially on northern slopes if there is newer snow.
