Avalanche Activity

More heavy precipitation, snow turning to rain

Even a small additional load can trigger a small avalanche, especially in typical leeward areas with freshly blown snow.

Snowpack Structure

Up to 40 cm of new fallen snow has fallen on bare ground above 1300 m since Friday. Snowdrift accumulations have formed due to the strong southerly wind. In sunny weather, the snowpack has firmed up on Monday and is expected to freeze overnight.

Weather Forecast

Tuesday will be quite clear at first, clouding up quickly in the middle of the day. Highs will be foggy in the afternoon. A moderate south-westerly wind will blow. The temperature at 1500 m will be around -2 °C.

Tendency

Showers will start to appear on Wednesday night. On Wednesday, we expect heavier showers with wind! The snowfall level will be around 1200 m above altitudes at first, rising to around 1500 m during the day. The danger of avalanches will increase temporarily due to rain.
