Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger with mostly little snow.

Low avalanche danger with mostly little snow.

The avalanche risk is low. In extremely steep gullies or bowls on shady slopes, the triggering of small slab avalanches cannot be completely ruled out.

There is still significantly less snow than average. A thin, partly bound snowpack covers a very variable and mostly hard old snowpack. In shady gullies and bowls, the connection between the bound snowpack and the old snowpack is sometimes poor. In addition, angular shapes can weaken the snow base, fundament.

There will be a lot of clouds in the peripheral mountains at night, from which scattered snowflakes may fall. Clouds will increase from the south-west on Tuesday. This means that higher peaks will also be covered in cloud. Visibility will be poor and it may snow lightly at times. The snowfall level will be between the valleys and around 1000 metres above sea level. The temperature at an altitude of 1500 metres is between -5 and -2 degrees. At an altitude of 1000 metres, temperatures will be between -3 and 0 degrees. Moderate to partly brisk winds with gusts of around 40 km/h from the southwest, even stronger in exposed areas.

An Italian low will bring snowfall and rain on Wednesday. The snowfall level will be between 800 and 1500 metres above sea level. The southerly wind is easing. With the new fallen snow, the avalanche risk increases slightly on Wednesday afternoon.
