Western Carniche Prealps

Wind slabs and wet snow represent the main danger.

Wind slabs and wet snow represent the main danger.

In all aspects medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large avalanches are possible. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. As a consequence of warming during the day, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase gradually in all regions. Snow slides and natural avalanches are still possible. This applies in particular in steep rocky terrain. Gliding avalanches are possible. The wind slabs of the last few days must be evaluated with care and prudence above approximately 1800 m. Avalanches can still be released, in particular by large loads.

The weather conditions will give rise to moistening of the snowpack. In addition the sometimes new snow-covered wind slabs must be taken into account.

The weather will be sunny at times.
