Hochschwab Mountains

Moderate avalanche danger, wet snow problem all day long!

During the night, the snowpack can hardly consolidate and remains isothermal and soft up to high altitudes. The soaking can reactivate old weak layers in the persistent weak layer, especially on the north side. In all aspects, the soaked snowpack can lose its stability or begin to glide on smooth ground. At low altitude and on the sunny slopes, the snow cover is developing rapidly.

A few unproductive rain showers will pass through from the south during the night to Tuesday. During the day there will be mostly dense clouds, which will severely restrict visibility on the peaks, and there will be repeated light rain showers during the day. Snow only falls above 2000 to 2200 metres. The temperature at 2000 metres above sea level will be +2 to +3 degrees with light winds.

The weather will remain unsettled on Wednesday and Thursday. After that, it will become milder and more stable for a few days. The avalanche risk will hardly change.

Moderate avalanche danger, wet snow problem all day long!

The avalanche risk is moderate. In a few places, small to medium-sized, wet loose snow and slab avalanches can be triggered by themselves or by slight additional load throughout the day from terrain that has not yet been discharged. In a few extremely steep, shaded areas above 2200 m, small to medium-sized dry slab avalanches can still be triggered.
