Danger description

Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can still be released in some places especially on very steep north facing slopes. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches, including dangerously large ones. Very steep north facing slopes are to be evaluated with care and prudence. In addition the somewhat older wind slabs are capable of being triggered in some cases still.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

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.
