Lechtal Alps East

The avalanche prone locations are rare.

The avalanche prone locations are rare.

In isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. Mostly avalanches are small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Only isolated mostly small gliding avalanches are possible. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep grassy slopes.

Shady places that are protected from the wind above approximately 2600 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. The somewhat older wind slabs are lying on surface hoar in some places on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. All aspects below approximately 2600 m: The snowpack is largely stable and its surface has a crust. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Low avalanche danger will prevail.
