Danger description

Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
At elevated altitudes clearly visible wind slabs formed. These are mostly small but in some cases prone to triggering. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in steep terrain. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Wet avalanches as day progresses

In particular on steep south facing slopes wet snow slides and avalanches are possible.
