Avalanche Activity

Wet loose snow avalanches and moist slab avalanches are the main danger.

Above approximately 1800 m small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist avalanches are possible. These can be released, mostly by large loads or triggered naturally. Especially sunny slopes are unfavourable. In addition on north, northwest and northeast facing slopes, still more very occasional small dry slab avalanches are possible. This applies in particular in case of a large load.

Snowpack Structure

At high altitude a lot of snow is lying. The new snow of last week has bonded quite well with the old snowpack. The weather will be mild. These weather conditions will give rise to rapid moistening of the snowpack in particular on rocky sunny slopes. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the snowpack on north, northwest and northeast facing slopes.
