Monregalese Valleys

The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the icy crust.

The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the icy crust.

As a consequence of falling temperatures a crust formed on the surface. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will hardly soften at all. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. Large-grained weak layers exist in the old snowpack on near-ridge shady slopes. Weak layers in the lower part of the snowpack can be released in very isolated cases by people here.

The spring-like weather conditions gave rise to rapid settling of the snowpack over a wide area in all aspects below approximately 2500 m. As a consequence of highly fluctuating temperatures the snowpack consolidated during the last few days. Intermediate and high altitudes: The sometimes storm force wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. Individual weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on shady slopes. In all altitude zones only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
