Allgäu Alps Central

Avalanche danger above 1500 m is moderate, below that altitude danger is low. Gliding snow is the main problem. On very steep slopes in all aspects, wet glide-snow avalanches can release naturally over smooth ground, releases are mostly small sized. In addition small wet loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain. Only in isolated cases can small dry slab avalanches still be triggered on very steep shady high altitude slopes close to ridgelines.

Up to high altitudes thee snowpack is thoroughly moist or wet. The snowpack is also wet at the ground wide-spread, therefore, it can start gliding over smooth ground. Only on shady side slopes at highest altitudes is there still dry snow. In isolated cases there is a weak layer near the ground. Small snowdrifts have accumulated close to ridges at high altitude. In south aspects, the snowpack has become patchy even at high altitude. In some places a few centimeters of loose snow are expected to fall above 1600m.

At intermediate altitudes slight consolidation of the well moistened snowpack due to expected cooler temperatures.
