Low risk of small, wet avalanches

Low risk of small, wet avalanches

The avalanche risk is low. Individual small wet avalanches can spontaneously release from very steep terrain with the sun's rays. Terrain traps are less full due to a lack of snow and are therefore more effective.

Where there is still snow, the snowpack is moist to wet due to mild air and sunlight, depending on the altitudes, and closes with a melt-freeze crust, which forms a steep sunny slope during the day, but otherwise often remains hard and icy. The snow base, fundament is sometimes weakened by persistent weak layers.

During the night, the sky will remain clear and the air relatively dry. The wind will be mostly light to moderate. On Thursday, the consistently sunny weather will continue with dry and cold air. The wind will be mostly light to moderate. At 2000 metres the temperature will be -4 to 0 degrees.

No significant change in avalanche danger.
