Danger description

The fresh snow and the sometimes large wind slabs that are being formed by the wind are in some cases prone to triggering. Avalanches can in some places be released by people. They can in many cases reach medium size. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Wet avalanches

Considerable danger of wet avalanches will prevail. During the night medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large wet avalanches are to be expected below approximately 2400 m, especially on steep north facing slopes. As a consequence of falling temperatures, the avalanche activity will gradually decrease.
