Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong westerly wind, further wind slabs will form. They are in some cases prone to triggering. Avalanches can be released easily and reach large size in isolated cases. Natural avalanches are possible. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Gliding avalanches

Individual occasionally large gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2200 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
