Danger level

Wet and gliding avalanches require caution.

The backcountry touring conditions remain spring-like. The early morning will see favourable conditions mostly. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of wet avalanches, in particular on very steep sunny slopes. Individual mostly small natural avalanches are possible. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Snowpack

dp.10: springtime scenario

Until Thursday the weather will be partly cloudy over a wide area. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften during the day. This applies in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m.
Towards its base, the snowpack is well consolidated. At low and intermediate altitudes a little snow is lying.

Tendency

On Thursday it will be very cloudy over a wide area. Some snow will fall in the evening in the west and in the east. The avalanche danger will persist.
