Dry avalanches: no distinct avalanche problem

Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 2000m.

In all aspects above approximately 2000m.

Danger description

Avalanches can in some cases be released in near-surface layers, especially at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. In addition the wind slabs of the last few days are prone to triggering in some locations.
Careful route selection is advisable. Very steep slopes are to be traversed by snow sport participants one at a time.

Gliding avalanches

Medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large gliding avalanches are to be expected below approximately 2400 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist and wet avalanches are possible. This applies in particular on steep sunny slopes.
