Avalanche Activity

Heed the risk of taking a fall!

Avalanche danger above 1800m is moderate. New snow can be problematic. Small wet loose snow avalanches can release in extremely steep terrain, in particular due to solar radiation. On the shady side, isolated medium-sized glide-snow avalanches are possible on slopes over smooth ground as well as over meadows or rock slabs. In addition, isolated small snowdrift patches can be released by backcountry tourers by minor additional loading. This applies in particular to steep ridgeline terrain at high altitude in N/E/SE aspects.

Snowpack Structure

At higher altitudes, a few centimeters of new snow were deposited atop a thoroughly moist snowpack or bare ground. Small snowdrift patches accumulated in wind-exposed places a highest altitudes. The old snowpack is compact and generally stable. Above approx. 1600m there is mostly a continuous snowfield on the shady side.

Tendency

Avalanche danger will slowly diminish.
