Danger spots are found only in some places

Low avalanche danger. Small slab avalanches can be triggered with high additional loads in some places. Danger spots are found in extreme steep terrain on the transition from little to high amounts of snow in the expositions west via north to east. Spontaneous gliding snow avalanches coming from steep slopes with smooth surfaces are also possible.

The snow cover could settle and is mostly stable. Only in shady slopes in higher altitudes an old snow layer which is weakened by kinetic metamorphosis is found. On sunny slopes surface hoar is formed during the night which will soften during the day. On shady areas the snow on top is often still loose and in exposed areas hard. The snow base is partially moist, gliding movements of the snow cover can’t be ruled out.

After a clear night Monday will be sunny in the mountains due to the influence of a high pressure system. In the valleys the day starts foggy or with high fog which will clear up slowly. Weak to moderate north to northwesterly winds which carry cooler air masses. Temperatures are around -3 degrees in 2.000 m and around 0 degrees in 1.500 m.

Influence of a high pressure system, the avalanche danger is not significantly changing.
