Central Retiche Alps

Above approximately 2000 m snow will fall. Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. The large quantity of fresh snow as well as the wind slabs formed by the strong wind represent the main danger.

The large quantity of fresh snow as well as the wind slabs formed by the strong wind represent the main danger. Large quantities of fresh snow and the wind-drifted snow of the weekend can be released easily, even by a single winter sport participant, above approximately 2200 m. On steep slopes and on wind-loaded slopes the avalanche situation is dangerous. Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in deep layers reach quite a large size especially on steep north, northwest and northeast facing slopes.

Fresh snow and large quantities of wind-drifted snow of the weekend will be deposited on a weakly bonded old snowpack above approximately 2200 m. Weak layers exist in the snowpack especially on north, northeast and northwest facing slopes.
