Danger description

The new snow and wind slabs are prone to triggering at elevated altitudes. The avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found above approximately 2000 m. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches.
As a consequence of the rain natural avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses. In particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes these can be released in the weakly bonded old snow and reach large size in some cases.
Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and restraint.
