Danger description

Avalanches can be triggered from place to place in a weak layer above or beneath the rain crust which formed at the end of December. In addition the older wind slabs are capable of being triggered in some cases still. Avalanches can reach medium size.
Careful route selection is recommended.

Gliding avalanches

Especially on very steep sunny slopes more frequent small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
