Avalanche Activity

Snow quantities relevant for avalanches now only on shady side slopes above 1800m.

Avalanche danger above 1800m is moderate. Wet snow can be problematic on isolated slopes with sufficient snow. Small wet loose snow avalanches are possible in extremely steep terrain, in particular on Wednesday at dusk. Medium-sized glide-snow avalanches are possible on slopes over smooth ground as well as over meadows or rock slabs.
