Danger description

The large quantity of fresh snow and the extensive wind slabs represent the main danger. In particular from starting zones at higher altitudes medium-sized and large natural avalanches are possible. In some cases dry avalanches can release the wet old snow as well and can reach as far as areas without any snow cover. Transportation routes situated at higher altitudes can be endangered occasionally. The conditions are very critical for backcountry touring.

Wet avalanches

Individual medium-sized to large wet avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. Exposed parts of transportation routes can be endangered occasionally.
