Chiemgau Alps East

On shady slopes at higher altitudes, there are still connected snow fields.

On shady slopes at higher altitudes, there are still connected snow fields.

The avalanche risk is low. On the northern sides of the highest peaks and areas adjacent to the summit and ridge, older snowdrift accumulations with low additional loads can be triggered as small slab avalanches.

Older wind slab snow has usually bonded well with the old snow surface. In the highest areas adjacent to the ridgeline, crest or summit, it can still be prone to triggering on shady slopes. The snowpack is generally well stabilised and slightly moist. Only on the northern sides of higher elevations is the snow still dry on the surface. Overall, there is little snow, the southern sides are largely snowed out.

With new fallen snow and wind, the avalanche risk increases slightly in the second half of the week.
