Avoid terrain under sliding snow cracks

Avoid terrain under sliding snow cracks

The avalanche danger is low. The main problem is the sliding snow on slopes with exposures from east to south to west. Small sliding snow avalanches can occur spontaneously up to the summits. Slab avalanches in old snow can only be triggered very rarely on very steep north-facing slopes above 2400 metres.

The snow surface is often loose and angular on the shaded side. Edgy, weak layers within the snowpack can only be seen at altitude. On the sunny side, the snow cover has settled a long way up and may have hardened in the morning.

On Monday morning, it will snow in the northern Alps with a snow line of around 1000 metres. The clouds will be dense everywhere until midday, clearing in the afternoon with occasional sunshine. The wind will be mostly light. At 2000 metres the temperature will be -4 to -1 degrees Celsius, at 3000 metres around -7 degrees Celsius.

Little change.
