Be aware of the risk of falling!

The avalanche risk is low. Fresh wind slabs can be problematic. Occasionally, smaller avalanches can be triggered with a small additional load. This is possible above all in the steep terrain adjacent to ridgelines in the north, east and south aspects as well as in gullies and bowls. On shady slopes at high altitudes, deeper weak layers can be disturbed in isolated cases with large additional loads.

Fresh, small snowdrift accumulations form with winds from north-westerly directions. Some of these come to rest on a soft layer of snow and can be prone to triggering. In shady high altitudes, layers of faceted crystals can be found deep in the otherwise compact old snowpack. At medium altitudes, the snowpack is wet towards the ground.

The avalanche danger remains low.
