Danger description

The fresh and older wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering at elevated altitudes. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Avalanches can reach medium size. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.
In very isolated cases avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size. Careful route selection is recommended.

Wet avalanches as day progresses

As a consequence of solar radiation wet avalanches are possible, even large ones in isolated cases. This applies especially on steep north facing slopes below approximately 2500 m, as well as on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2800 m.
