Wölz Tauern South

Low avalanche danger - only isolated danger spots due to fresh snowdrift deposits.

The avalanche danger is low. Danger spots are fresh snowdrift deposits in some places. These are located in high entrances to gullies and bowls and behind terrain edges, especially in eastern and southern exposures. Small slab avalanches can be triggered here by even a low additional load.

In the extended eastern sector small fresh snowdrift deposits are formed in some places. At shady high altitudes and in blown-in gullies, a small unstable snow base in form of a succession of crusts and softer layers is present. At medium and lower altitudes as well as on sunny slopes, the snow base is missing.

Monday starts sunny in the Styrian mountains. Strong northeasterly winds. Temperatures at 2000 m will be around -7 degrees.

From Tuesday on Styria gets influenced by a high pressure system, the wind weakens and the temperatures are rising. The avalanche situation doesn’t change significantly.
