Weather Forecast

After a slightly cloudy night, the sun will shine on Sunday and visibility will be very good. The wind will freshen up during the day and at high altitudes from midday with 30 to 50 km/h from a southerly direction. At 2000 metres it will be +2 degrees, at 3000 metres -5 degrees.

Tendency

No significant change on Sunday. A moderately strong southerly wind is not able to move the snow.

The avalanche risk is low. Individual wet and predominantly small avalanches can spontaneously break loose from very steep terrain with the sunlight.
