The avalanche risk rises to moderate above 1600 metres during the daytime changes, below that the danger is low all day. Wet snow is the main problem. Wet loose snow avalanches are to be expected where there is still a lot of snow. In extremely steep terrain in all aspects, they usually release themselves. On steep slopes with smooth ground, such as meadow slopes or rock slabs, wet gliding avalanches can occur. Avalanches reach medium size. In isolated cases, persistent weak layers can be problematic in the northern aspects of the high altitudes. On very steep slopes, medium-sized slab avalanches can be triggered by individuals. With the outgoing longwave radiation at night, the snow surface freezes through and is load-bearing. It softens with the sunlight. In general, the snowpack is soaked up to high altitudes and consists mainly of snowmelt. In places, layers of faceted crystals can still be found deep in the snowpack at high altitudes exposed to the north. On the south side, the ground is gradually thawing up to high altitudes. No change for the time being until the weather changes on Sunday. 2026-04-17T15:00:00Z 2026-04-18T15:00:00Z 2026-04-17 2026-04-16T15:00:00Z 2026-04-16T15:00:00Z 2026-04-17T15:00:00Z false Avalanche Service Bavaria Chiemgau Alps East Bavarian Prealps West Chiemgau Alps West Allgäu Prealps Bavarian Prealps East Bavarian Prealps Central low earlier low later wet_snow NW W N NE E later loose Be aware of the risk of falling on crusted snow fields. The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow can become problematic during the daytime changes. In extremely steep terrain, loose snow avalanches can occasionally come loose. Wet gliding avalanches can occur on steep slopes with smooth ground that have not yet been discharged. Avalanche activity is limited to terrain on shady slopes where there is still snow. Wet avalanches usually remain small. With the outgoing longwave radiation, the surface of the remaining snowpack capable of bearing loads freezes through. It softens with the sunlight. In general, the snowpack is soaked everywhere. Southern sides are largely free of snow and on the northern sides the ground is pitting up to higher altitudes. No change in avalanche danger. 2026-04-17T15:00:00Z 2026-04-18T15:00:00Z 2026-04-17 Daytime increase only at higher altitudes: there is still a lot of snow in some areas.
