Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2000m.
Danger description
As a consequence of a moderate to strong southwesterly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form. The fresh and older wind slabs represent the main danger. Even single snow sport participants can release avalanches in some places, including medium-sized ones.
Experience in the assessment of avalanche danger is important.
Gliding avalanches
Below approximately 2000 m small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible, in particular on very steep sunny slopes.
