Danger description

As a consequence of a strong to storm force westerly wind, wind slabs will form in the course of the day. They are mostly small but prone to triggering. The wind slabs are to be avoided in steep terrain.
In isolated cases avalanches can be released in near-surface layers and reach medium size. This applies in particular on very steep north facing slopes in little used backcountry terrain. Careful route selection is recommended.

Wet avalanches

As a consequence of the rain individual wet avalanches are possible. This applies in particular on very steep shady slopes below approximately 2000 m.
