Danger description

The fresh wind slabs are prone to triggering. They are to be avoided in steep terrain. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection.
