Gliding avalanches

Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects below approximately 2500m.

In all aspects below approximately 2500m.

Danger description

In all aspects small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2500 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.
In addition as the day progresses on south facing slopes, wet snow slides and avalanches are possible.

Dry avalanches: no distinct avalanche problem

Dry avalanches can be released in particular in extremely steep terrain. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found at elevated altitudes. Even a small avalanche can sweep people along and give rise to falls. In many places there is a danger of falling on the hard crust.
