Wind slabs, wet avalanches
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects at all altitudes.
Danger description
Fresh snow and large quantities of wind-drifted snow are prone to triggering. In the course of the day danger level 4 (high) will be reached. Avalanches can be released easily and reach large size. Natural avalanches are to be expected.
Especially on north facing slopes more small and medium-sized wet avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of the rain, in particular below approximately 2000 m.
The danger exists primarily in alpine snow sports terrain. The off-piste conditions are critical.
