Injury from stones and falling are the main dangers.

Injury from stones and falling are the main dangers.

The avalanche danger is low. Only very rarely can drift snow packs be triggered by individuals in shady slopes, avalanches remain small. In areas adjacent to the ridgeline, crest or summit, there are very occasional trigger points for small avalanches that are difficult to disturb, even in persistent weak layers.

The snow depth is well below average for the time of year, low to medium elevations and the sunny slopes are widely covered in snow. The snow cover, snowpack is moistened up to high altitudes on the sunny slopes during daytime changes, in the shade it often remains frozen hard. At high altitudes on the shady slopes, weak layers of faceted crystals are occasionally preserved in the snow cover, mostly in the vicinity of crusts.

The sun is shining on Monday. Visibility is good on the mountains. Thin, high cloud fields will pass through at times. It will be a little cooler. Temperatures at 2000 m around 2 degrees, at 3000 m around -3 degrees. Weak to moderate southerly winds with gusts of around 40 km/h.

The avalanche danger remains low.
