Danger description

As a consequence of northeasterly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the last three days. These can be released by a single winter sport participant. Avalanches can reach medium size. The wind slabs are to be avoided. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Wet avalanches as day progresses

Below approximately 2400 m: On steep east, south and west facing slopes gliding avalanches are possible. In addition as the day progresses on south facing slopes, moist snow slides and avalanches are possible.
