Avalanche Activity

Isolated danger zones in gullies and bowls

Weak layers in the old snowpack can in isolated cases on shady slopes be triggered, esp. in gullies and bowls. Avalanche releases are mostly small-sized. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being swept along and forced to take a fall require consideration.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is expansively metamorphosed The older snowdrifts blanket a weak layer particularly on shady slopes above 1800m. The snowpack is highly diverse even over small areas. Only little snow on the ground from region to region below 1600m.

Weather Forecast

On Saturday, sunshine all day long and radiantly azure skies. Above the valley floors there will be fog and high-fog (border at 600-900m). Outstanding visibliity. Moderate, sometimes strong SE winds, windspeeds reaching 40 km/hr. At 1000m: +5 degrees; at 2000m: +2 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria
