Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger, occasional small wet snow slides possible

The avalanche risk is low. Small wet snow slides can occur occasionally in all aspects, especially from multiple starting zones that have not yet been fully discharged. The risk of entrainment in the fall terrain outweighs the risk of burial.

Snowpack Structure

The thin, mostly isothermal snow cover cannot consolidate overnight and is sometimes soaked further by a little rain. There is only a little snow left and the sunny slopes are mostly already snowed out.

Weather Forecast

A few unproductive rain showers will pass through from the south during the night to Tuesday. During the day there will be mostly dense clouds, which will severely restrict visibility on the peaks, and there will be repeated light rain showers during the day. Snow only falls above 2000 to 2200 metres. The temperature at 2000 metres above sea level will be +2 to +3 degrees with light winds.

Tendency

The weather will remain unsettled on Wednesday and Thursday. After that, it will become milder and more stable for a few days. The avalanche risk remains low.
