Avalanche Activity

Watch out for wet avalanches when it warms up during the day!

Moderate avalanche danger persists at altitudes above 1800 m a.s.l., 2nd degree. Due to strong warming, wet snow is becoming the main problem in all orientations. Avalanche release is possible especially with high additional loads, but spontaneous avalanches from wet snow are also expected on steep slopes, even in the morning.

Snowpack Structure

Due to the strong warming and south wind, the snow cover is already soaked in the morning hours in the entire profile. Snow stability will decrease as the day progresses and as air temperatures increase. The boundary of the continuous snow cover is rising day by day, it is currently about 1500 to 1600 m above sea level depending on the orientation.

Tendency

Rising during the day in sunny weather. FK
