Upper Passeier Valley

As a consequence of the new snow there will be an increase in the avalanche danger. Weakly bonded old snow is to be avoided.

As a consequence of the new snow there will be an increase in the avalanche danger. Weakly bonded old snow is to be avoided.

The new snow can be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are present in all aspects. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. These avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are difficult to recognise. As a consequence of the new snow individual small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized loose snow avalanches are possible. In isolated cases avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size, especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Evening: As the snowfall level rises natural avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m.

20 to 30 cm of snow, and up to 40 cm in some localities, will fall on Thursday. In some places new snow is lying on soft layers. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack on very steep west, north and east facing slopes, especially above approximately 2400 m on the Main Alpine Ridge.

Hardly any decrease in danger. Some snow will fall.
