Middle Lys Valley

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will increase but remain within the current danger level.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will increase but remain within the current danger level.

Decrease in avalanche danger as the temperature drops. Early morning: The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will hardly soften at all. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. Crampons or ski Crampons are useful, especially on traverses and very smooth and hard slopes. Until midday the weather will be partly cloudy in some localities. In the afternoon the activity of moist and wet avalanches will only slowly increase. The near-surface layers of the snowpack can be released in isolated cases by winter sport participants in particular in extremely steep terrain. In particular in starting zones where no previous releases have taken place and at the base of rock walls more small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized natural wet avalanches are possible. The conditions are generally favourable for ski touring.

The spring-like weather conditions gave rise to rapid settling of the snowpack. This situation gave rise to moistening of the snowpack below approximately 2500 m. The amount of snow is subject to significant local variations. Below the tree line hardly any snow is lying on southeast and southwest facing slopes. Especially on the colder slopes above the treeline, in the valley basins and headlands that have been less affected by stormy winds in recent weeks, there is excellent snow cover. Weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes.

Only isolated small moist and wet avalanches are possible.
