Graie Alps

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep slopes above approximately 2400 m.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls above approximately 2400 m and on extreme north facing slopes. Avalanches can as before be released by large loads, but they will be small in most cases. In some regions 2 to 5 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1700 m.

The snowpack is largely stable. As a consequence of highly fluctuating temperatures a crust formed on the surface, in particular below approximately 2300 m. In the last few days the weather was very mild. The high temperatures gave rise to moistening of the snowpack over a wide area on sunny slopes. At low altitude less snow than usual is lying.
