Chiemgau Alps East

Sliding snow avalanches can occasionally reach medium size.

The snow cover becomes increasingly wet with rain. Loose, unbound snow loses its firmness. Where the moisture reaches the ground, there is increased sliding movement on smooth ground. It is snowing at the highest altitudes. Snow is transported by strong winds in places. Fresh and occasionally older drift snow lies on softer layers, especially on the shaded side, and is susceptible to disruption.

The avalanche danger is slowly decreasing.

Sliding snow avalanches can occasionally reach medium size.

The avalanche danger is moderate. Wet snow is the main problem. Wet sliding snow avalanches can detach themselves on very steep slopes with smooth ground. Wet, spontaneous loose snow avalanches are possible from extremely steep terrain. Sliding snow avalanches can occasionally reach medium size, loose snow avalanches usually remain small.

Drift snow can be problematic in the highest summit and ridge areas. Danger spots can be found in the steep terrain close to the crest in the northern exposures. Accumulations of drifting snow can be triggered as mostly small slab avalanches with a small additional load.
