Avalanche Activity

Low risk of small, wet avalanches

The avalanche risk is low. Individual small wet avalanches can spontaneously release from very steep terrain with the sun's rays. Terrain traps are less full due to a lack of snow and are therefore more effective.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover, snowpack is moist to wet due to rainfall, mild air and sunlight, depending on the altitudes, and closes with a crust of melt or rain ice, which can build up steeply on the sunny side and protected from the wind during the day, but otherwise remains hard and icy. Edgy persistent weak layers weaken the snow base, fundament.

Weather Forecast

During the night the sky will be clear and on Wednesday the sunny weather will continue with good visibility and dry air. The wind will be mostly light to moderate. The temperature will hover around 0 degrees at 2000 metres.

Tendency

No significant change in avalanche danger.
