Danger description

The fresh wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering. They are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. Winter sport participants can release avalanches in some places, including medium-sized ones.
The wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in steep terrain.

Gliding avalanches

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