Avalanches can in isolated cases be released in the old snowpack. These are rather small but can be released even by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In particular northwest, north and east facing slopes are unfavourable. In high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects.

Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. The snowpack will be prone to triggering in some places, in particular on northwest, north and east facing slopes at high altitude, as well as in all aspects in high Alpine regions. Steep sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth and will soften during the day. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.

Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. These avalanche prone locations are rather rare but are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye.
