Wind slabs, old snow
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in southwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2000m.
Danger description
The fresh and older wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering. Avalanches can in some places be released by people and reach medium size. Additionally in very isolated cases avalanches can also be released in deep layers and reach large 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.
Backcountry touring calls for careful route selection.
