Hochschwab Mountains

Generally low avalanche danger

Generally low avalanche danger

The avalanche risk is low. There is generally very little snow left. Only isolated wet snow slides are to be expected. The risk of entrainment in the fall terrain outweighs the risk of burial.

The thin, consistently moist snowpack may consolidate a little due to the cooling. A thin layer of fresh snow is forming on the surface in places at high altitudes. There is only a little snow left and the sunny slopes are usually already snowed out.

Monday in Styria will bring changeable and much cooler mountain weather than recently. In the morning it will be sunny again and again and the mountain peaks will often be clear. From midday onwards, the spring clouds will increase and in the afternoon it will be partly cloudy and regional rain showers and snow showers are to be expected above around 1600 to 1800 metres. With moderate winds from the north-west, it will be cooler than recently, with temperatures of around 0 degrees at 2000 metres.

The changeable, slightly cooler mountain weather will continue on Tuesday. The avalanche risk remains low.
