Watch out locally for small snowdrift accumulations.

The avalanche danger is low. Since yesterday, up to 15 cm of new fallen snow has been transported by north-westerly winds onto mostly bare ground. The risk of burial outweighs the risk of injury from stones underneath.

A few centimetres of new or wind-slab snow lie on the bare ground, in blown-in areas even a little more.

Wednesday will often start quite sunny with good visibility. However, clouds will gradually gather in the afternoon. In the late afternoon and evening, it will start to snow lightly in the northern Alps, with up to 10 cm possible. The wind will blow moderately to briskly from the northwest with peaks of around 60 km/h on the mountains. Around -10 degrees at 2000 metres.

The avalanche risk increases slightly with further new fallen snow and wind, but remains low on Thursday.
