Avalanche Activity

What snow remains lies mostly on high-altitude north-facing slopes

Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow can be problematic. On smooth, very steep slopes which have not yet discharged, small wet glide-snow avalanches are possible in all aspects. Where the snow on the ground is sufficient, small naturally triggered wet loose-snow avalanches are possible. In Allgau, likelihood of wet-snow avalanches triggering in late afternoon will increase, due to rainfall

Snowpack Structure

What snow remains is thoroughly wet. During the night a thin melt-freeze crust can form only in the eastern regions, and it softens rapidly in the morning. On south-facing slopes up to high altitudes, hardly any snow on the ground. On shady slopes, there is snow on the ground above 1400m.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels will remain low.
