Danger description

The fresh wind slabs are mostly small but in some cases prone to triggering. At elevated altitudes the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.
Additionally in very isolated cases avalanches can also be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. This applies in particular on little-used, rather lightly snow-covered shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. These avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Defensive route selection is appropriate.
