Danger description

The new snow and wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant.
Distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes. Avalanches can be released easily. Remotely triggered and natural avalanches are possible in isolated cases. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. Avalanches can reach dangerously large size.
Defensive route selection is advisable.

Gliding avalanches

Below approximately 2000 m small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible.
