The avalanche risk is moderate above 1600 metres and low below. Wet snow is the problem. Gliding avalanches can occur on a few steep slopes with a smooth surface, such as meadow slopes or rock slabs. In addition, wet loose snow or slab avalanches can release themselves on extremely steep terrain or be triggered by individuals on very steep terrain. The avalanches reach medium size. In the highest summits and areas adjacent to the ridgeline, small snowdrift accumulations may occasionally be prone to triggering. Otherwise, the old snowpack is heavily soaked to wet right up to the high altitudes and consists mainly of snowmelt. Only on north-facing slopes at high altitudes can layers of faceted crystals still be present deep in the snowpack. There is hardly any snow on the north side below 1600 metres and on the entire south side. No change in avalanche danger Wet avalanches are possible in a few places. 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z Avalanche Service Bavaria 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z 2026-04-21T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 wet snow Be aware of the risk of being swept away by small avalanches in terrain where there is a danger of falling. The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow can be problematic in rare cases. Occasionally, on very steep slopes with sufficient snow, wet loose snow avalanches or wet gliding avalanches on slippery ground can release themselves. Avalanches usually remain small. The remaining snowpack is widely patchy, consists of snowmelt and is completely soaked. The southern sides are largely free of snow except for individual snowfields in areas adjacent to the ridgeline, crest or summit. The avalanche danger remains low. Wet avalanches are possible in a few places.
