The avalanche risk is moderate above the tree line and low below it. Wind slabs can be triggered in all aspects by a small additional load, usually in the form of a small slab. The risk of being swept away and falling is generally greater than the danger of being buried. Stormy winds create small, fresh snowdrift accumulations that come to rest unfavourably on a soft, soft old snow surface, sometimes also on fresh surface hoar, in areas where the wind is calm. Older snowdrift accumulations lie on old surface hoar in some places. Below a melt-freeze crust close to the surface, faceted crystals can be found at higher altitudes right down to the ground. There is little snow on the south side. With stormy winds and new fallen snow, the avalanche risk increases slightly. 2026-01-08T16:00:00Z 2026-01-09T16:00:00Z 2026-01-08 2026-01-08T05:30:08Z 2026-01-07T16:00:00Z 2026-01-08T16:00:00Z true Avalanche Service Bavaria Allgäu Alps Central low treeline all_day moderate treeline all_day wind_slab treeline NW N SE SW W S E NE all_day slab Slab avalanches can reach medium size. The avalanche risk is moderate above the tree line and low below it. Wind slab can be triggered as a small or medium slab avalanche by a small additional load. Avalanche prone locations can be found in all aspects of the steep terrain adjacent to the ridgeline, as well as in gullies and bowls. In addition to the risk of burial, the risk of being swept away and falling must be taken into account. With stormy westerly winds, fresh snowdrift accumulations develop, which come to rest unfavourably on a soft, soft old snow surface, sometimes also on fresh surface hoar in wind-calm areas. Older wind slabs are sometimes still prone to triggering on old surface hoar. Below a melt-freeze crust close to the surface, faceted crystals can often be found right down to the ground, especially at higher altitudes. There is little snow on the south side. With stormy winds and new fallen snow, the avalanche risk increases slightly. 2026-01-08T16:00:00Z 2026-01-09T16:00:00Z 2026-01-08 Update: fresh snowdrift accumulations have already formed overnight.
