Avalanche Activity

Minor wet snow avalanches possible due to thawing

The snowpack of the last snowfall has become unstable as the weather warms up. The danger of wet snow avalanches has increased, especially on extreme terrain. On grassy slopes, gliding avalanches will be possible. This only applies to the highest peaks where there is some more snow.

Snowpack Structure

As the weather warms up, much of the snow from the last snowfall has been cleared away. The snow line is at around 1200 m. At higher altitudes, the snow of the last snowfall has become much heavier and is being transformed more quickly.

Weather Forecast

Tuesday will be cloudy and occasionally foggy over the tops. Occasional dew or light rain. Winds will be mainly from the north. Temperatures at 1000 m and 1500 m will be around 3 °C.

Tendency

Typical spring conditions are expected over the next few days. The snowpack will freeze overnight, but during the day, with sunshine and high temperatures, the snow will change and melt more quickly.
