Avalanche Activity

Not much snow on the ground, mostly low danger

Avalanche danger is low. During the course of the day, small slides and wet-snow avalanches can trigger. On smooth, steep grass-covered slopes and in sparsely wooded zones, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible. Glide cracks are indicators of danger.

Snowpack Structure

The shallow snowpack has settled well and is stable. Solar radiation and daytime warming moisten the snowpack and lead to a loss of firmness in the snowpack. On sunny slopes, the ground is becoming bare of snow to an increasing degree.

Weather Synopsis

Nocturnal hours: mostly a night of clear skies and good outgoing radiation, some high clouds as morning approaches. Wednesday: clouds above the peaks will hamper the sunshine, create diffuse light conditions, most summits will remain free. The clouds will descend as the day progresses. At 2000 m: +3 degrees. Light SW winds.

Tendency

Thursday will be heavily overcast and foggy. Above 1500m a few minor snow showers. Avalanche danger will remain low.
