Low avalanche danger in high altitudes - snowdrift is prone to triggering in some places.

Avalanche danger is low. Danger spots are located in very steep entries, gullies and behind ridgelines in the expositions north to east. There slab avalanches can be triggered by small additional loads cannot be ruled out.

The snow base can settle and is mostly stable. Only the met-hoar crusts in lower altitudes can be possibly triggered. The snow surface is hoar-like or icy. On top of that is im higher altitudes a powder-like layer, which will stay longer in shady areas, but will soften in sunny areas. In general the snow cover is unevenly distributed and thoroughly wet in medium altitudes. Blown-off areas are often hard and icy.

The upcoming days will be dominated by a high-pressure system and dry air masses. On Monday sunny mountain weather, clear skies and excellent visibility is called. Weak easterly winds. Temperatures at noon are around 0 degrees in 2.000 m and around 5 degrees in 1.500 m.

In the areas with higher amounts of snow are wet loose-snow avalanches during the course of the day possible.
