Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200m.
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. 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
On very steep east, south and west facing slopes small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. In addition as the day progresses on south facing slopes, moist snow slides and avalanches are possible. This applies especially below approximately 2800 m.
