Few danger zones in extremely steep terrain

Atop a thoroughly wet 0-degree isotherm old snowpack surface a few cm of settled snow lies deposited from the weekend, depending on altitude, which is melt-freeze encrusted. Maximum 10 cm of fresh snow atop of that. In exposed terrain, shallow drifts lie deposited, generated by W/N winds.

On Monday, visibility will improve, intermittent sunshine during the daytime. Persistent fog in the Northern Alps, as well as minor snowfall. Northerly winds at 30-50 km/hr. At 1500m: -5 degrees; at 2000 m: -9 degrees.

No significant change expected. On sun-drenched steep slopes the latest fresh fallen snow can release naturally as small loose-snow avalanches.

Few danger zones in extremely steep terrain

Avalanche danger is LOW. There are only few small dnager zones due to fresh snowdrift accumulations in extremely steep ridgeline terrain and in gullies. Outside of that, low danger from naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches which can release at any time of day or night in extremely steep zones which have not yet discharged. In case of solar radiation, the latest bout of fresh fallen snow can release naturally as a small superficial loose-snow avalanche.
