Avalanche Activity

Wet and gliding snow are to be assessed with care and prudence.

As the day progresses more frequent wet and gliding avalanches are to be expected. This applies especially on steep sunny slopes in all altitude zones, and on steep shady slopes below approximately 2200 m. Avalanches can reach medium size. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Over a wide area stormy weather to low altitudes. The fresh wind slabs but can only be released in isolated cases. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.
