Avalanche Activity

Moist and wet avalanches are the main danger.

Especially gullies and bowls and base of rock walls: Mostly small moist and wet avalanches are possible in isolated cases.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack will be generally well bonded. At low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at high altitude. The older wind slabs are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The sleet will give rise in the late morning to thorough wetting of the old snowpack below approximately 1700 m. 10 to 15 cm of snow will fall from late morning above approximately 1700 m. A little new snow to intermediate altitudes. The wind will be moderate to strong.
