Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on very steep north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. As a consequence of solar radiation individual wet and gliding avalanches are possible.
Avalanches can in isolated cases be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Especially slopes adjacent to ridgelines are unfavourable.
The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs of the weekend can still be released in some cases in particular on shady slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 2400 m. These places are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation mostly small wet loose snow slides are possible. This applies on extremely steep sunny slopes. In addition individual gliding avalanches are possible.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
Wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers on steep northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Faceted weak layers exist in the centre of the old snowpack, especially on northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m.
Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to moistening of the snowpack on sunny slopes. In all altitude zones only a little snow is lying.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.

Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m.
Avalanches can in some cases be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Especially slopes adjacent to ridgelines are unfavourable.
The wind slabs of the last few days are in individual cases still prone to triggering. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. These places are clearly recognisable to the trained eye.
As a consequence of warming individual small moist loose snow slides are possible. This applies on extremely steep sunny slopes. In addition individual gliding avalanches are possible.
Snowpack
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer dp.2: gliding snow
The weather conditions fostered a strengthening of the snow drift accumulations. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the centre of the old snowpack, especially on northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Field observations confirm the existence of a weak snowack.
Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to moistening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes. Only a little snow is lying.
Tendency
Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution.
Danger level
Low avalanche danger will prevail.
The wind slabs of the weekend can be released in isolated cases on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The avalanche prone locations are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Wind slabs are to be avoided especially in terrain where there is a danger of falling.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual small gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible.
Snowpack
dp.2: gliding snow
The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to moistening of the snowpack on sunny slopes.
In all altitude zones from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
Tendency
Low avalanche danger will prevail.
Danger level
Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind, clearly visible wind slabs formed in the last few days. These are mostly only small but can be released in isolated cases. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m.
On extremely steep sunny slopes individual small wet loose snow slides are possible.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
As a consequence of a strong northerly foehn wind, small wind slabs formed in the last few days. These are in isolated cases prone to triggering on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
The weather will be very mild. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to moistening of the snowpack on sunny slopes. In all altitude zones only a little snow is lying.
