Avalanche Activity

The danger of avalanches is low. Be careful in fresh snowdrift accumulations!

Snowpack is mostly stable. In some places in the high alpine regions, especially on fresh drifts of blown snow, a small, clustered avalanche can be triggered under higher loads.

Snowpack Structure

There is little snow, and the peaks and ridges are in some places blown bare. The Sunny slope below about 2000 m is also dry. Higher up, there is some new snow on old snow. A crust has formed on the surface of the snowpack, which supports the weight of a pedestrian. In the high alpine regions, weak layers may be present in the old snow cover. Up to 10 cm of dry snow will fall on such a surface on Wednesday. Snow will fall with a stronger NE wind building up small drifts.

Weather Forecast

It will be cloudy and foggy, with light snow almost to the lowlands. It will be around -5 °C at 1500 m and -8 °C above 2000 m. There will be a strong NE wind.

Tendency

Thursday will be cloudy and foggy with moderate NE winds. On Friday, the wind will be even lighter and it will clear up. The danger of Avalanche will remain similar.
