Wet avalanches

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.

Wind slabs

The fresh 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.
