Avalanche Activity

Gliding avalanches are the main danger.

An appreciable danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies on steep grassy slopes in all aspects in particular below approximately 2600 m. They can be released at any time of day or night. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. On extremely steep sunny slopes individual small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized wet loose snow avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of mild temperatures the snow drift accumulations stabilised. The snowpack will be stable over a wide area. The snowpack is wet and its surface has a melt-freeze crust. This applies in particular below approximately 2000 m, as well as on steep sunny slopes. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to rapid softening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.

Tendency

Gliding snow represents the main danger.
