Danger description

Somewhat older wind slabs represent the main danger. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Careful route selection is important. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Wet avalanches as day progresses

As the day progresses moist snow slides and avalanches are possible below approximately 2600 m. This applies especially on very steep south facing slopes.
