New snow, old snow
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 1800m.
Danger description
The large quantity of fresh snow of the last few days and the wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches in some places. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible.
Avalanches can be triggered in near-ground layers and reach large size. This applies especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and caution.
Gliding avalanches
Below approximately 2000 m medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible.
