Avalanche Activity

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.

Snowpack Structure

New snow and wind slab have 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 close to the ground. Low and sunny mid-altitude areas are bare.

Weather Forecast

Monday night will be partly cloudy. On Monday, visibility will be mostly good in the morning and the sun will shine frequently. In the afternoon, cumulus clouds may restrict visibility and the light will become more diffuse. Snow showers are then also to be expected in places. Weak winds from north to west. At 2000 m -5 to 0 degrees, at 3000 m around -11 degrees.

Tendency

No significant change in avalanche danger.
