Wet avalanches

Wet avalanches are to be expected below approximately 2400 m. These can release the entire snowpack and reach large size, especially on steep north facing slopes.
Exposed parts of transportation routes can be endangered occasionally.

Wind slabs

Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering. Single persons can release avalanches, including medium-sized ones. This applies in particular in high Alpine regions. Backcountry touring calls for careful route selection.
