Avalanche danger is often low, moderate at high altitudes. In some places more deeply embedded layers inside the snowpack are weak. Small-to-medium sized avalanches are thereby possible, especially by large additional loading. On steep grassy slopes, especially on sunny slopes but increasingly frequently on shady slopes, small glide-snow avalanches are possible. Caution urged below glide cracks.
The snowpack has settled well and consolidated increasingly. On shady slopes the uppermost layers are still loose or soft, on sunny slopes a crust has often formed. In isolated cases, more deeply embedded layers inside the old snowpack can be triggered by large additional loading. The older drifts at high altitudes are generally compact. Mild temperatures reinforce gliding movements of the snowpack.
Ongoing sunshine and outstanding visibility from the summmits. Only the westerly winds will intensify, bothersome in ridgeline terrain. Temperatures receding slightly compared to previous days, but persistently mild. Null-degree level at 2400m. At 2000m: -2 to +2 degrees. Moderate to strong velocity westerly winds in the heights.
Until Thursday, no significant changes expected
