Old snow
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in southwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2200m.
Danger description
Distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. Avalanches can be released easily and reach dangerously large size. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.
The wind slabs of the last few days are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in very steep terrain.
Careful route selection is advisable.
Gliding avalanches
Small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are to be expected below approximately 2400 m.
In particular on very steep sunny slopes moist snow slides and avalanches are possible.
