New snow
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 1600m.
Danger description
Large quantities of fresh snow and the wind-drifted snow of the last few days are in some cases prone to triggering. Avalanches can be released by a single winter sport participant and reach dangerously large size. Natural avalanches are possible in isolated cases. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and caution.
In addition below approximately 1600 m, moist snow slides and avalanches are possible.
Gliding avalanches
Medium-sized to large gliding avalanches are possible. This applies in the west below approximately 2400 m, and in the east below approximately 2000 m. Slides can occur on cut slopes.
