Avalanche Activity

A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail. Wind slabs require caution.

Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. On extremely steep slopes mostly small loose snow avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of solar radiation. Even a small avalanche can sweep winter sport participants along and give rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area over a wide area 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell on Saturday. Wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Tendency

Easter Monday: The weather conditions will bring about a gradual stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. Slight increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming.
