Danger description

The fresh and older wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering, in particular at elevated altitudes. Avalanches can in some cases be released by people and reach medium size. The wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. Backcountry touring calls for careful route selection.

Wet avalanches as day progresses

Medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large wet avalanches are possible. This applies in particular on north facing slopes below approximately 2400 m, as well as on east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 3000 m. Backcountry tours and ascents to alpine cabins should be concluded timely.
