Upper Susa and Chisone Valleys

The avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found above approximately 2700 m. In addition the danger of moist and wet avalanches will increase as the day progresses.

20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Saturday above approximately 2500 m. In particular below approximately 2500 m,: The old snowpack remains generally stable. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise from early morning to gradual moistening of the snowpack. Below approximately 2000 m a little snow is lying.

The avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found above approximately 2700 m. In addition the danger of moist and wet avalanches will increase as the day progresses.

In particular at intermediate and high altitudes moist and wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. The wet avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack and reach large size in isolated cases. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Backcountry tours should be started and concluded early.
