Danger description
Danger level 2 (moderate) will be reached in the course of the day. As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force northerly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form. These are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Avalanches can be released by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Ski touring and other off-piste activities, including snowshoe hiking, call for careful route selection.
