Danger description

As a consequence of northeasterly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the last three days. They are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. At elevated altitudes the prevalence and size of these avalanche prone locations will increase. Careful route selection is required. The wind slabs are to be bypassed in particular in steep terrain.

Gliding avalanches

On steep east, south and west facing slopes gliding avalanches are possible, in particular below approximately 2000 m.
