Werdenfels Alps

Only in isolated high altitude zones possibility of dry avalanches.

Only in isolated high altitude zones possibility of dry avalanches.

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: wet snow. Small loose-snow slides can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain.

Moistening of the snowpack progresses up to high altitudes. Wide-spread, the snowpack is wet at the ground and can start sliding over smooth ground. Otherwise it is mostly stable. Patches with dry snow at the surface are becoming rare, these are now only found on shady highest altitude slopes. In isolated cases there is a weak layer near the ground. Small snowdrifts accumulated close to ridges at high altitude. In south aspects, the snowpack has become patchy even at high altitude.

The danger of dry avalanches can increase somewhat at high altitudes.
