Avalanche Activity

Gradual increase in danger of dry and moist avalanches as a consequence of the precipitation.

The snowfall will give rise from the early morning to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase in the late morning. In particular on very steep slopes and in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation medium-sized dry and moist avalanches are to be expected at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. In particular high altitudes and the high Alpine regions as well as wind-loaded slopes: In localities where more than 25 cm of snow falls danger level 3 (considerable) may be reached in the late morning.

Snowpack Structure

In particular below approximately 2800 m,: The old snowpack remains generally stable. The snowfall will give rise from the early morning to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack over a wide area in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. Below approximately 2200 m a little snow is lying.

Tendency

The weather conditions will facilitate a gradual strengthening of the snowpack.
