Rhemes Valley

The backcountry touring conditions are favourable.

The backcountry touring conditions are favourable.

During the day: On extremely steep slopes individual mostly small moist snow slides and avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation,, in isolated cases also on shady slopes, especially below approximately 2500 m, in particular at the base of rock walls. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases and mostly by large additional loads.

Less snow than usual is lying. On sunny slopes below approximately 2300 m from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying. The conditions below approximately 2500 m are spring-like. This applies in all aspects. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. Faceted weak layers exist in the snowpack on north, northeast and northwest facing slopes. On Tuesday on very steep shady slopes individual small avalanches occurred naturally. This applies between approximately 2300 and 2800 m.

The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften earlier than the day before. After an overcast night this applies. The avalanche danger will increase but remain within the current danger level.
