Gaal Alps

Low avalanche danger, occasional small wet snow slides!

Low avalanche danger, occasional small wet snow slides!

The avalanche risk is low. As the day warms up, small wet snow slides may occur occasionally, especially from multiple starting zones that have not yet been fully discharged. The risk of being swept away and falling should be taken into account.

The thin snowpack will become damp in all areas during the day changes and lose firmness. Only in very shady areas above 2000 metres does the snowpack still have small cold reserves and isolated weak layers in the persistent weak layer. In general, there is very little snow and the depletion is progressing.

It will be cloudy through the night on Saturday. It will be mostly cloudy or very cloudy, and from the Niedere Tauern to the Semmering it will still snow lightly at times above 1500 metres. Tomorrow, the clouds will largely clear along the northern side of the Alps, otherwise low-lying residual clouds will remain, shrouding most of the peaks of the peripheral mountains in fog and severely restricting visibility. There may also be light rain here and there. The temperature at an altitude of 2000 metres will be between 0 degrees in the morning and +5 degrees in the afternoon. Moderate winds from the west with gusts between 30 and 50 km/h.

On Sunday, the sky will be mostly cloudy and it will remain very mild. The wet snow problem will persist. From Monday, dense clouds and sunshine will alternate frequently, but it will remain dry.
