Danger level



Conditions are favorable concerning avalanche hazard.

The fresh wind slabs are mostly small and can only be released in isolated cases, especially adjacent to ridgelines at elevated altitudes. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Only isolated gliding avalanches are possible. This applies in particular on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.

In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard crust.

Snowpack

Some snow will fall in some regions. The old snowpack is moist and its surface has a strong melt-freeze crust. This applies on sunny slopes in all altitude zones, as well as on shady slopes below approximately 2600 m.
In particular below the tree line only a little snow is now lying.

Tendency

Low avalanche danger will persist.
