Avalanche Activity

On sunny slopes below approximately 2700 m only a little snow is lying.

In all aspects as well as in all altitude zones less snow than usual is lying. The conditions are unfavourable for ski touring. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information. Above approximately 2400 m the danger is low (level 1). The wind slabs are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and at high altitudes. These can in very isolated cases be released, mostly by large loads.

Snowpack Structure

Up to 5 cm of snow fell on Tuesday above approximately 800 m. In the northeast and in the south in all altitude zones from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying. On north, northeast and east facing slopes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular on rocky shady slopes.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist.
