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. At night, the snow surface freezes solid before it softens again, sometimes quickly, with the sun's rays. 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. Rain is forecast for Sunday. Wet avalanches are to be expected all day. The snow surface usually softens again quickly in mild temperatures. 2026-04-17T15:00:00Z Avalanche Service Bavaria 2026-04-18T10:00:00Z 2026-04-18T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 wet snow wet snow old snow The activity of wet avalanches increases during the day changes.

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. At night, the surface of the remaining snowpack capable of bearing loads freezes through. It usually softens again quickly with the sunlight. In general, the snowpack is soaked everywhere and has no stratification. Southern sides are largely free of snow and on the northern sides the ground is puffing up to higher altitudes. The avalanche danger does not change. The snow surface usually softens again quickly in mild temperatures. 2026-04-17T15:00:00Z Avalanche Service Bavaria 2026-04-18T10:00:00Z 2026-04-18T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 wet snow Be aware of the risk of small, wet avalanches.
