Danger level
Danger Level 3 - Considerable above the treeline
Danger Level 4 - High above the treeline
Avalanche Problem

Wind-drifted snow above 1500m, N-NE-NW


Dry and moist avalanches are likely to occur however even now.

The danger of wet and gliding avalanches will increase during the day, reaching danger level 4 (high). As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase significantly in particular on steep slopes below the tree line. The surface of the snowpack is hardly frozen at all and will already soften in the late morning. A clear night will be followed in the early morning by quite favourable conditions generally, but the danger of wet and gliding avalanches will increase later. During the morning as well, individual, then as the precipitation becomes heavier more wet avalanches are to be expected. On steep southeast, south and southwest facing slopes and at low and intermediate altitudes numerous medium-sized and large natural wet avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of warming. On sunny slopes a high danger of wet and gliding avalanches will be encountered over a wide area. As the temperature drops there will be a gradual decrease in the avalanche danger towards the evening.

Over a wide area stormy weather to intermediate altitudes.
