Snowpack Structure

At high altitudes, older snowdrift accumulations are well bonded with the snowpack surface, tensions have decreased with the higher temperatures. At intermediate and lower altitudes the snowpack is very moist-to-wet due to rain impact, can glide over smooth ground. The slopes near Graz and Wechsel are mostly bare of snow.

Avalanche Activity

Isolated glide-snow/wet-snow avalanches in steep terrain

Avalanche danger is generally low. On steep slopes in all aspects, naturally triggered glide-snow and wet-snow avalanches can be expected.
