Danger description

The wind slabs of the last few days represent the main danger. Dry avalanches can be released, even by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. In very isolated cases avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size.
Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection.

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.

Remarks

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.
