Avalanche Activity

Below 1800 m there is very little snow on the ground

Low avalanche danger prevails. On steep slopes which have not yet discharged small glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. With increasing altitude, small trigger-sensitive snowdrifts require attentiveness.

Snowpack Structure

The shallow snowpack is thoroughly wet up to intermediate altitudes. Temperatures are helping the snowpack layering. There is very little snow on the ground.

Weather Synopsis

Monday night: a cold front will bring precipitation, snowfall above 1500 m, in early morning down to 1000 m or lower. Tuesday: snow showers at the start, slackening off, the fogbanks will disperse somewhat. Lots of sunshine in the afternoon, then the next clouds will move in. Colder than recently. At 2000 m: -4 degrees. Strong westerly winds initially, then easing.
