Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in northwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2600m.
Danger description
As a consequence of a storm force westerly wind, wind slabs will form. These are rather small but in some cases prone to triggering. They are to be avoided in very steep terrain.
In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the icy crust.
Gliding avalanches
In particular on very steep grassy slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies in particular below approximately 2400 m.
