Avalanche Activity

New snow and wet snow represent the main danger.

Above approximately 1800 m snow will fall until the afternoon. The new snow can be released in some cases. Backcountry tourers can release avalanches in some places, in particular on very steep slopes. Small and medium-sized natural avalanches are possible, in particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation caution is to be exercised in particular. Moist and wet avalanches. The danger of moist and wet avalanches will decrease gradually. Some avalanches are nontheless not ruled out, especially below approximately 2500 m. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.

Snowpack Structure

15 to 25 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the afternoon above approximately 2300 m. Up to 1800 m rain will fall. Above approximately 2500 m snow fell in the last few days in some localities. In some regions rain to the high Alpine regions: These weather conditions gave rise to moistening of the snowpack also at high altitude. Below approximately 2500 m the snowpack is wet all the way through. Below approximately 2200 m a little snow is lying.

Tendency

Some snow will fall. In the course of the day the activity of moist and wet avalanches will gradually increase.
