Low avalanche danger and little snow

Low avalanche danger and little snow

The avalanche risk is low, there is little snow. Isolated avalanche prone locations are still conceivable on steep, shady slopes leading to wind slab-filled gullies in the summit areas. In general, the risk of injury from stones and the risk of falling on hard or icy surfaces outweighs the risk of burial.

The snowpack is at least superficially moistened up to around 1500 metres, on sunny slopes even up to the summit areas. Overnight, a melt-freeze crust forms on the snow surface, which only softens again during the day. Only on shady slopes can the snow surface still be partly soft and dry or wind-treated. Here, edged persistent weak layers - if present - weaken the thin snow base, fundament.

The sky will be mostly clear during the night, with some high fog spreading in the valleys and lowlands, with an upper limit of 1500 metres. On Monday, the sun will mostly shine on the mountains and the high fog will clear during the morning. At 2000 metres it will be -4 to -1 degrees.

No significant change in avalanche danger.
