Avalanche Activity

Wet snow represents the main danger.

As a consequence of the rain more frequent wet avalanches are to be expected. This applies in particular on very steep shady slopes at high altitude. Avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size. The runout zones of avalanches are to be avoided.

Snowpack Structure

Up to 2500 m rain will fall. Northwest, north and northeast facing slopes: The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. The rain will give rise to extreme and thorough wetting of the snowpack. West and east facing slopes: The snowpack will be wet all the way through.

Tendency

Gradual decrease in danger of wet avalanches.
