Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger, beware danger of falling

Avalanche danger is generally low. On high-altitude east-facing slopes there are snowdrift patches. In Niedere Tauern, Ennstal and Eisenerz Alps, isolated naturally triggered gliding snow slids are possible. The snowpack is hard and icy up to the summits - acute danger of falling.

Snowpack Structure

Older snowdrift accumulations on east-facing slopes at high altitudes are poorly bonded with the surface. Due to warmth and subsequent cooling the snowpack was able to consolidate. The surface is mostly hard and icy.

Weather Forecast

Perfect mountain weather on Monday. Light winds (shifting from north to east to southeast). At 2000 m: +4 degrees.

Tendency

Ongoingly sunny and mild. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
