Avalanche Activity

The danger of Avalanche is low. Be careful in fresh Snowdrift accumulations!

Snowpack is mostly stable. In some places in the high alpine regions, especially on fresh snowdrift accumulations of blown snow, a small, clustered Avalanche can be triggered under higher loads.

Snowpack Structure

There is little snow, and the peaks and ridges are in some places blown bare. The Sunny slopes below about 2000 m are also dry. Higher up, there is some new snow on old snow. A crust has formed on the surface of the snowpack, which supports the weight of a pedestrian. In the high alpine regions, weak layers may be present in the old snow cover. Up to 10 cm of dry snow fell on such a surface on Wednesday. It snowed with a strong NE wind which built up small drifts.

Weather Forecast

It will be cloudy and foggy at first, gradually decreasing during the day. NE winds will blow, easing during the day.

Tendency

It will clear up overnight on Friday, and Friday will be sunny and slightly warmer. There will be a stronger E wind. The danger of avalanches will remain similar.
