Be aware of the risk of small, wet avalanches.

The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow can become problematic during the daytime changes. In extremely steep terrain, loose snow avalanches can occasionally come loose. Wet gliding avalanches can occur on steep slopes with smooth ground that have not yet been discharged. Avalanche activity is limited to terrain on shady slopes where there is still snow. Wet avalanches usually remain small.

At night, the surface of the remaining snowpack capable of bearing loads freezes through. It usually softens again quickly with the sunlight. In general, the snowpack is soaked everywhere and has no stratification. Southern sides are largely free of snow and on the northern sides the ground is puffing up to higher altitudes.

The avalanche danger does not change.
