Border Graie Alps

New snow and wet snow require caution. Especially in the regions exposed to precipitation large natural avalanches, capable of reaching a long way, must be expected.

New snow and wet snow require caution. Especially in the regions exposed to precipitation large natural avalanches, capable of reaching a long way, must be expected.

Intensive precipitation: This applies especially in the evening. Large quantities of fresh snow and the wind-drifted snow can be released naturally in all aspects. Many large and, in isolated cases, very large avalanches are possible. Avalanches can reach valley bottoms and in some places endanger exposed transportation routes. Below approximately 2200 m medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large moist and wet avalanches are possible.

The sleet will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack over a wide area in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind, large wind slabs formed in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain as well as at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. These spring-like weather conditions will give rise to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack over a wide area in particular in all altitude zones.
