Avalanche Activity

A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Individual gliding avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. This applies in particular on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2600 m. At elevated altitudes small wind slabs will form. They can be released in isolated cases. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. Individual wet loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small, in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes.

Snowpack Structure

Faceted weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack, in particular on very steep sunny slopes above approximately 2600 m. Towards its base, the snowpack is largely stable. Low and intermediate altitudes: The old snowpack is moist and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases.

Tendency

A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
