On slopes and above approximately 1800 m the avalanche danger is considerable (level 3). The natural avalanche activity will gradually increase. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in north to northeast to northwest facing aspects above approximately 1500 m. Medium-sized natural avalanches are possible in all aspects. The new snow is lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on steep shady slopes above approximately 1600 m. Faceted weak layers exist deeper in the snowpack on steep shady slopes. Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. Above approximately 1500 m snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. 2022-12-04T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-12-04T23:00:00Z 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 2 drifting snow new snow gliding snow steady 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z 2022-12-06T23:00:00Z In some localities up to 30 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1700 m. As a consequence of new snow and wind a moderate avalanche danger will prevail. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in extremely steep terrain above the tree line. The fresh snow and the wind slabs represent the main danger. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized and can be released also by a single winter sport participant. If more than 40 cm of snow falls danger level 3 (considerable) will be reached. The new snow and wind slabs represent the main danger. As a consequence of the new snow small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized avalanches are possible above approximately 1900 m. Moist avalanches below approximately 1800 m. 2022-12-04T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-12-04T23:00:00Z 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 2 wet snow new snow steady 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z 2022-12-06T23:00:00Z New snow above approximately 1600 m. As a consequence of rain an unfavourable avalanche situation will be encountered in some regions. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information. As the precipitation becomes more intense the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses. On steep slopes small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized dry and wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of the new snow. The new snow is lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on steep shady slopes above approximately 1600 m. Faceted weak layers exist deeper in the snowpack on steep shady slopes. Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution.

The new snow of the weekend is lying on surface hoar in some places in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. The fresh snow and the wind slabs represent the main danger. <br/> They are to be found in particular above approximately 2200 m. The fresh wind slabs can especially at their margins be released, even by a single winter sport participant. These places are difficult to recognise. <br/> Several medium-sized dry avalanches are possible as a consequence of the moderate westerly wind. <br/> In all aspects as well as in all altitude zones less snow than usual is lying. <br/> The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information. Up to 25 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since yesterday above approximately 1000 m. In some localities 5 cm of snow, but less in some localities, will fall on Monday above approximately 1800 m. The new snow of the weekend is lying on surface hoar in some places above approximately 2200 m. <br/> In particular in gullies and bowls snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

In all regions in all altitude zones from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. The avalanche danger will persist. As a consequence of the solar radiation, the likelihood of dry and wet avalanches being released will increase a little in particular on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m. 2022-12-04T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-12-04T23:00:00Z 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report 3 1 DP6 drifting snow new snow steady 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z 2022-12-06T23:00:00Z Gradual increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of the moderate westerly wind. The natural avalanche activity will gradually increase. As a consequence of the sometimes moderate westerly wind the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. <br/> The wind slabs will form in particular adjacent to ridgelines and at high altitudes. These places are sometimes covered with new snow and are difficult to recognise. They can in some places be released by people. <br/> The conditions are unfavourable for ski touring. In all aspects as well as in all altitude zones less snow than usual is lying. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information. Up to 40 cm of snow, and up to 60 cm in some localities, has fallen since yesterday above approximately 1900 m. The new snow of the weekend is lying on surface hoar in some places in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. <br/> In particular in the south and in the west below approximately 2500 m from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying. <br/> Also in all regions above approximately 2500 m snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

The wind slabs will form in particular adjacent to ridgelines and at high altitudes. They can in some places be released, even by a single winter sport participant. In all aspects as well as in all altitude zones less snow than usual is lying. In the typical avalanche paths in these regions the avalanches can in very isolated cases reach large size. At intermediate altitudes a little snow is lying. This shortens the runout distances. The new snow of the weekend is lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Up to 60 cm of snow, and up to 70 cm in some localities, fell in the last two days above approximately 2000 m. <br/> Also in all regions above approximately 2500 m snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. 2022-12-04T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-12-04T23:00:00Z 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report 3 1 DP6 new snow decreasing 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z 2022-12-06T23:00:00Z At elevated altitudes a dangerous avalanche situation will be encountered in some regions. The fresh snow and local mostly small wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. These are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Several small and medium-sized dry and moist avalanches are possible as a consequence of the ceasing of precipitation. In the typical avalanche paths in these regions the avalanches can in very isolated cases reach large size. In the avalanche path a little snow is lying. This shortens the runout distances. The new snow of the weekend is lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.

The new snow and wind slabs of the last two days represent the main danger. 10 to 20 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1800 m. The new snow will be deposited on soft layers above approximately 2000 m. Weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack in particular on shady slopes. The fresh snow of the last two days and the sometimes deep wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases. The new snow and wind slabs of the last two days represent the main danger. The new snow of the last two days will be deposited on soft layers above approximately 2000 m.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in steep terrain above approximately 2000 m and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The fresh snow and the wind slabs that are forming during the snowfall represent the main danger. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. Some snow will fall until the early morning over a wide area. Over a wide area 15 to 30 cm of snow fell in the last two days above approximately 2000 m. In some places wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Individual weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular on shady slopes. Slight decrease in avalanche danger as a consequence of the ceasing of precipitation. 2022-12-04T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-12-04T23:00:00Z 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 1 DP6 new snow steady 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z 2022-12-06T23:00:00Z 2 to 10 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1400 m. The new snow is lying on top of a quite favourable old snowpack. At elevated altitudes the avalanche danger is low (level 1). Up to 10 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1400 m. The new snow and wind slabs will be deposited on soft layers on north to northeast to northwest facing aspects above approximately 1700 m. The snowpack will be well bonded over a wide area. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep north, northeast and northwest facing slopes at elevated altitudes. 2022-12-04T16:00:00.019980Z Avalanche.report 2022-12-04T23:00:00Z 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 1 drifting snow steady 2022-12-05T23:00:00Z 2022-12-06T23:00:00Z Wind slabs above approximately 1800 m. On wind-protected slopes and in gullies and bowls individual small avalanches are possible. They can be released by large loads. As a consequence of snowfall above approximately 1800 m and the occasionally strong easterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed during the last few days. The wind slabs are to be found especially in gullies and bowls and generally at high altitudes. Also areas that are largely protected from the wind are especially unfavourable. The new snow will be deposited on the favourable surface of an old snowpack in all aspects above approximately 1800 m.
