Avalanche Activity

Moist and wet avalanches are the main danger.

Above approximately 1800 m medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large natural wet avalanches are possible. As the day progresses the likelihood of avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep sunny slopes. Also bases of rock walls are especially unfavourable. In particular above approximately 1900 m these avalanche prone locations are a little more prevalent. Above approximately 1900 m in some localities danger level 3 (considerable) will be reached.

Snowpack Structure

Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack in all aspects. Backcountry touring calls for careful route selection. Transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example and steep north facing slopes: Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution.
