Avalanche Activity

Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The visible wind slabs of the last few days represent the main danger.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. In addition the wind slabs at the base of rock walls are prone to triggering in some locations. Avalanches can be released, in particular by large loads. Mostly small natural avalanches are possible on very steep sunny slopes, in the event of solar radiation in particular at the base of rock walls. Meticulous route selection is appropriate. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers in particular on steep shady slopes. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted.

Tendency

The weather will be sunny.
