Dry avalanches: no distinct avalanche problem

Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200m.

Danger description

A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail. In very isolated cases avalanches can be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. These avalanche prone locations are to be found especially at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. In some localities small wind slabs formed. Careful route selection is recommended.

Gliding avalanches

In starting zones where no previous releases have taken place individual medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large gliding avalanches are possible. This applies on sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m, and on shady slopes below approximately 2000 m. Gliding avalanches can be released at any time of day or night. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.
