Favourable situation

Favourable situation

Avalanche danger in the Low Tatras and Fatras is only LOW (1st degree). The occurrence of avalanches is generally not expected. Smaller avalanches can only be released locally on steep slopes and with large additional loads, especially on northern slopes if there is newer snow on them.

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 1800 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.
