Partly little snow: Be aware of the risk of falling and injury!

The avalanche risk is low. At medium altitudes, sliding snow is a problem. On very steep, smooth ground, for example on meadows, in forest aisles and on rock slabs, individual small sliding snow avalanches can detach themselves. Areas below sliding snow cracks should be avoided.

At higher altitudes, isolated weak layers in old snow can be problematic. Slab avalanches can be triggered on very steep, shady slopes at the transition from little to much snow with a large additional load. They usually remain small, but the risk of falling must be taken into account.

At medium altitudes, the snow cover is moist and compact, often wet at the base. At higher altitudes, well-set powder snow dominates. Here, layers of angular crystals have been preserved in places, especially on shady slopes and in hollows.

Avalanche danger remains low.
