Maira and Grana Valleys

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in steep terrain at intermediate and high altitudes.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in steep terrain at intermediate and high altitudes.

In particular above approximately 2400 m: Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in some place by winter sport participants. This applies in particular on very steep west, north and northeast facing slopes. As a consequence of falling temperatures, the natural avalanche activity will decrease. In the morning, There is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

Monday: In some localities 5 to 15 cm of snow, and up to 20 cm in some localities, has fallen since Monday above approximately 1600 m. Intermediate and high altitudes: Weak layers exist in the snowpack especially on west, north and northeast facing slopes. In the vicinity of peaks snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In places that are protected from the wind in all altitude zones a lot of snow is lying for the time of year. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften later than the day before.
