Mostly favourable conditions with little snow

The avalanche risk is low. In the entrance areas of steep gullies on shady slopes, snow slabs can occasionally be triggered in persistent weak layers. The risk of being swept away and falling on icy surfaces that may be thinly covered with snow and therefore difficult to recognise generally outweighs the risk of burial.

It is snowing heavily. The new and wind slab snow from the beginning of the week has stabilised well. In the higher, on-shady slopes, there are still weak layers of large faceted crystals in the lower part of the snowpack, especially near the ground. Low and sunny mid-altitude areas are free of snow again.

On Sunday, visibility will be good and the sun will shine frequently. In the afternoon, small cumulus clouds may impair visibility somewhat. The wind will blow briskly from south to east. Around -4 degrees at 2000 metres.

No significant change in avalanche danger.
