Avalanche Activity

During the daytime changes, wet avalanches are more likely to be triggered.

The avalanche risk is low. During the daytime changes, wet avalanches are more likely to be triggered in all aspects. The avalanches can occur spontaneously or be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts, they usually remain small. The risk of being swept away and falling should be taken into account.

Snowpack Structure

The outgoing longwave radiation at night is good. A melt-freeze crust forms, which soon softens again during the day. Sun and warmth lead to increasing soaking of the snowpack. Rather snow-poor shady slopes above around 1900 m: The lower part of the snowpack is faceted. There is hardly any snow on steep sunny slopes at low and medium altitudes.

Weather Forecast

The night is starry. On Wednesday, the sun will mostly shine unclouded and there will be excellent visibility. During the daytime changes, there will be at most a few harmless spring clouds. At higher altitudes, moderate to brisk north-westerly winds with gusts of around 40 km/h will blow. Temperatures at 2000 metres will be between 2 and 4 degrees.
