Avalanche Activity

Gradual increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day.

At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions and in starting zones where no previous releases have taken place more medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large dry avalanches are possible. This applies especially on shady slopes. Several moist and wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day. Mostly these are medium-sized. Backcountry tours and ascents to alpine cabins should be started and concluded early.

Snowpack Structure

The sleet gave rise to significant moistening of the snowpack below approximately 2500 m. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. Below approximately 2000 m a little snow is lying.
