Old snow, wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in southwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 1800m.
Danger description
In some places avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow and reach medium size. These avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. They are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes.
In addition the fresh wind slabs should be taken into account. They are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Backcountry touring calls for careful route selection.
