Avalanche Activity

Isolated danger zones due to gliding snow

The avalanche situation is quite favorable in general. On very steep grass-covered slopes, small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized glide-snow avalanches are possible above 1800 m. Avoid zones below glide cracks. The danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is generally stable. Due to warmth of the ground and moistness of the snowpack, increased glide-snow activity can be expected.

Weather Forecast

Fine weather from a high-pressure front. Nocturnal skies will be star-studded and tranquil. In the valleys, early morning fog will form. Sunshine will dominate tomorrow but for a few harmless clouds, outstanding visibility. Light winds at all altitudes. Far too mild for this juncture of the season, zero-degree level at 2500 m. At 2000 m: 3-5 degrees; at 3000 m: -2 degrees.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
