Danger description

In particular at elevated altitudes mostly small wind slabs formed. They are in some cases prone to triggering. Mostly the avalanches are small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
Additionally in very isolated cases avalanches can be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. This applies especially on extreme north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m in little used terrain. These avalanche prone locations are rare but are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Very steep shady slopes are to be traversed by snow sport participants one at a time.
