Western Carniche Prealps

The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days represent the main danger.

The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days represent the main danger.

The fresh snow as well as the wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 1800 m and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In all aspects large and, in isolated cases, very large avalanches are possible. Single snow sport participants can release avalanches. Snow slides and natural avalanches are still possible. This applies in particular in steep rocky terrain.

20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. In the last few days sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed. In addition the sometimes new snow-covered wind slabs must be taken into account.

The weather will be partly cloudy.
