Avalanche Activity

Minor wet snow avalanches possible due to thawing

On Thursday and Friday, precipitation occurred, with rain outside the highest peaks, soaking the snowpack. As the snowfall level was high, only the highest peaks were covered with snow. Wet snow avalanches are possible due to the thawing, with gliding avalanches possible on steeper slopes.

Snowpack Structure

The old snow cover is made up of layers of bonded snow that are already somewhat compacted and mostly well connected. A depth hoar has formed at the interface between the snowpack and the ground.

Weather Forecast

Partly cloudy in the morning, partly clear during the day. There will be light westerly winds. Temperature at 1500 m will be around 4 °C.

Tendency

Snow and weather conditions will be similar in the coming days. Under the influence of warmer weather, the snow will start to transform more quickly.
