Danger of falling on hard frozen snow surfaces early in the morning and on shady slopes.

The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow is the main problem. During the daytime changes, small loose snow avalanches can detach themselves from the rocky steep terrain with the sun's rays. On very steep slopes with smooth ground that have not yet been discharged, individual smaller gliding avalanches are possible.

On shaded steep slopes at higher altitudes, medium-sized slab avalanches with a large additional load can also be triggered in isolated cases. This is particularly the case at transitions from a little to a lot of snow.

The snowpack is soaked up to high altitudes and wet towards the ground. A stable melt-freeze crust forms overnight. It softens again quickly in the sun and the snow loses its grip. On shady slopes, the snow surface remains hard and icy. Occasionally, weak layers of faceted crystals can be found deep in the snowpack on shady slopes at higher altitudes. However, these can hardly be triggered and are usually covered by compact or crusted can form layers of snow. On the south side and at lower altitudes, the ground is becoming increasingly paler.

The avalanche danger remains low.
