New snow
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to south facing aspects above approximately 1800m.
Danger description
As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong westerly wind, further wind slabs will form. These are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches in some places, including medium-sized ones. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses.
As the snowfall level rises natural avalanches are possible below approximately 2000 m. This applies in particular in the afternoon. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection.
