New snow, old snow
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 2000m.
Danger description
As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind, extensive wind slabs will form in the course of the day. These are prone to triggering. Natural avalanches are to be expected.
Avalanches can be triggered in near-ground layers and reach very large size. This applies especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Exposed parts of transportation routes can be endangered occasionally.
Extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and great restraint are required.
Gliding avalanches
Below approximately 2000 m medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible.
