Avalanche Activity

Beware of avalanches from wet snow.

Moderate avalanche danger in the Low Tatras persists at higher altitudes, 2nd degree. Due to warming, the main problem is wet snow, basically in all altitude zones. Avalanche release is possible on steep slopes, especially with high additional loads. Occasionally, smaller spontaneous avalanches from wet snow may also occur.

Snowpack Structure

Due to the strong warming, the snow cover is wet, in the middle altitudes throughout the profile. At the highest altitudes, crust from the previous cold snap is locally present on the surface. The Low Tatras have the highest snow cover compared to the other mountain ranges, with snow depths ranging from 20 to 90 cm.
