Danger description

Avalanches can be released in near-surface layers and reach dangerously large size. This applies in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. Whumpfing sounds can indicate the danger.
In the last three days avalanche prone wind slabs formed in particular at elevated altitudes. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects. Avalanches can reach medium size.
Single winter sport participants can release avalanches. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Gliding avalanches

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