Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.

Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in deeper layers, in particular by large additional loads. This applies especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1900 m. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. They are rare but are barely recognisable. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. In addition as the day progresses mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible. Caution is to be exercised in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes, and at the base of rock walls.

The gusty wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. Hard wind slabs formed. These are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1900 m.

The high temperatures will give rise to moistening of the snowpack.
