Danger description

Single snow sport participants can release avalanches in some places. Avalanches can in isolated cases be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. This applies especially in little used backcountry terrain. In addition the fresh and older wind slabs are prone to triggering in some cases.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for defensive route selection.

Gliding avalanches

Below approximately 2200 m gliding avalanches are possible, in particular on very steep sunny slopes.
