Villach Alps

Avalanches hardly possible, danger zones occur seldom.

Avalanches hardly possible, danger zones occur seldom.

Weak layers can trigger in transitions into gullies and bowls in very isolated cases, releases small, particularly on NW/N/NE facing slopes above 2000m, generally triggerable only by large additional loading. Attention must be given to the dangers of being swept along and forced to take a fall.

Along the Italian border some snowfall is anticipated. Shady slopes: there are faceted expansively metamorphosed weak layers evident in the old snowpack. The snowpack is largely stable, with a surface crust. There is little snow on the ground. Below 1700 m there is hardly any snow.

No change in weather is expected. Most of the mountain massifs will be shrouded in cloud or fog up to 2000m on Tuesday, even above that altitude there will be sunshine only intermittently due to high-altitude clouds passing through. The summits should be in the clear, but otherwise there will frequently be fog. Winds light from SE to W, windspeeds reacing 25 km/hr. At 1000m: 0 degrees; at 2000m: -3 degrees during the daytime hours. Source: GeoSphere Austria
