Graie Alps

The avalanche prone locations are rather rare. Afternoon: Gradual increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the new snow.

Afternoon: Over a wide area wind and new snow. The snowpack is largely stable and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a crust. This applies especially on shady slopes. Large-grained weak layers exist in the snowpack on shady slopes. In all altitude zones less snow than usual is lying. Especially sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will hardly soften at all.

The avalanche prone locations are rather rare. Afternoon: Gradual increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the new snow.

Above approximately 1300 m snow will fall in the afternoon over a wide area. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases and mostly by large additional loads on shady slopes. This applies on very steep slopes in high Alpine regions. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Watch out for the numerous rocks hidden by the recent snow.
