Avalanche Activity

Be aware of the risk of falling and injury!

The avalanche danger is low. Sliding snow is the main problem. On smooth ground, for example on steep meadow slopes, in forest aisles and on rock slabs, individual small sliding snow avalanches can detach themselves. At higher altitudes, weak layers in old snow can be problematic. Slab avalanches can be triggered here on shady steep slopes, especially with high additional loads. Avalanches usually remain small, but the risk of falling must be taken into account.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover became superficially moist up to 2000 metres on Saturday. At night, a brittle melting snow cover forms here, in places an ice lamella. On the sunny side, the snow will soften again on the surface during the course of the day. At higher altitudes, well-set powder snow dominates. Here, layers of angular crystals have been preserved in places on shady slopes, especially in hollows and in the area of older drift snow accumulations. The ground is not frozen and the base of the snowpack is often wet.

Tendency

The avalanche danger is expected to remain low.
