Danger level



Low avalanche danger will prevail. The backcountry touring conditions are favourable over a wide area.

Wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines.

Individual gliding avalanches are possible, in particular on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Individual moist avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small, in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes.

Snowpack

The snowpack will be in most cases stable.
Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations above the tree line.
Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to slight moistening of the snowpack in particular on very steep sunny slopes.

Tendency

The backcountry touring conditions are favourable over a wide area.
