Naturally triggered avalanches are still possible The avalanche risk is moderate. Spontaneous wet snow avalanches are possible in places. Steep areas between 2400 m and 2600 m, where there is still a lot of snow, are particularly at risk. Avalanches usually remain medium in size, they can tear through the wet snow to the ground, run uncharacteristically wide and reach into the green. Above around 2400 m, in the steep terrain from west to north to east, there are individual avalanche prone locations in the dry persistent weak layer, high alpine also in the southern sector. Take care in the transitions from little to lots of snow. Reduced outgoing longwave radiation during the night often prevents the formation of a stable melt-freeze crust. Above 2200 metres, up to 10 cm of new fallen snow has fallen, which has bonded well with the snowpack. The snowpack consists of compact snow that is characterised by rain up to high altitudes. However, softer layers are embedded, especially at higher altitudes, which allow breaks near the surface. On shady slopes from around 2400 metres, there are still weak layers of angular forms and deep rime in the old snowpack close to the ground. The snowpack is moist to wet up to high altitudes. Low and sunny slopes are snowed out. The outgoing longwave radiation at night is still limited and it remains cool. The danger of wet avalanches remains. steady 2026-04-21T15:00:00Z 2026-04-22T15:00:00Z 2026-04-21 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z 2026-04-21T15:00:00Z false Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge Steinernes Meer, Hochkönig, Hagengebirge, Göllstock Tennengebirge, Gosaukamm Niedere Tauern Alpenhauptkamm Kitzbühel Alps Oberpinzgau Kitzbühel Alps Glemmtal Weisseck, Muhr Niedere Tauern South moderate all_day wet_snow NW W N NE E all_day slab During the night to Tuesday and also during the day, mostly dense clouds and snow showers will prevail.

Spontaneous wet snow avalanches are possible where there is still a lot of snow, i.e. on shady slopes at higher altitudes and partly on east and west-facing slopes. Avalanches can occur spontaneously or be triggered by winter sports. They remain medium-sized. Uncharacteristically long run-out lengths threaten bare terrain.

Beware: esp.on north-facing slopes, wet snow and old snow During the daytime hours, wet-snow avalanche danger will increase somewhat. One single winter sports enthusiast can trigger isolated wet-snow slab avalanches in very steep terrain below 2500m. Avalanches can fracture in the weak old snow and in isolated cases grow to large size. Whumpf noises and glide cracks in the old snow are indicators of danger. In addition, winter sports enthusiasts cn triggered avalanches in weak near-surface layers on high-altitude shady slopes. The danger spots are impossible to recognize. Caution urged towards small freshly generated snowdrift accumulations. In the last few days there has been up to 10cm of fresh snow registered at high altitudes from local showers. Above 2500m the snowpack cools sufficiently during the night. The snowpack is thoroughly wet up to high altitudes, on north-facing slopes up to about 2500m. Lower altitudes are bare of snow. Sunny slopes are becoming bare of snow up to high altitudes. On shady high-altitude steep slopes there are unfavorable intermediate layers in the uppermost layer of the snowpack which in places can be triggered. A thick mid-level section of compact layers blankets a fundament of buried hoar and faceted crystals. Over the next few days, conditions will improve due to good nighttime outgoing longwave radiation beneath clear skies. During daytime hours, danger of wet-snow avalanches will increase. steady 2026-04-21T15:00:00Z 2026-04-22T15:00:00Z 2026-04-21 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z 2026-04-21T15:00:00Z false Werdenfels Alps Berchtesgaden Alps Allgäu Alps Central Ammergau Alps North low 1600 all_day moderate 1600 all_day wet_snow 1600 NW E W NE N all_day loose wet_snow 1600 NW E W NE N all_day loose The snowpack is soaked right up to the highest peaks. 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.

Small, spontaneous wet snow avalanches are possible in snowy places The avalanche risk is low. The last remnants of snow can spontaneously descend as small wet snow slides. This increases the risk of avalanches in the fall terrain. There is still a little snow in places at altitude, but most of the terrain is already snowed out. The snow surface is soft from early in the morning.

The danger of wet snow avalanches has been reduced. The exception is isolated parts of the high alpine regions above about 2000 m, where some New fallen snow has fallen in recent days. This may become slightly thinner and less stable during the day, especially on sunny slopes. Small wet snow avalanches are possible. If the weather clears, the snowpack will freeze better at night. During the day, the snow will become slightly lighter in the mid-mountains and on the sunny slopes of the high alpine regions. The zero isotherm will be around 1800 m above altitudes. On Sunday and Monday, 5 to 10 cm of new fallen snow fell above about 2000 m. Precipitation was patchy with showers. The snow has been quite heavy even in the high alpine regions. The layers of snow are mostly well connected in the old snow cover. Individual weak layers of faceted snow crystals and abrasive grains occur more or less deep below the surface, and are more frequent on arable slopes above 1800 m. Wednesday will be clear at first, with some variable cumulus cloud during the day. It will be a little cooler. Temperatures will be around 0 °C at 1500 m and -8 °C at 2500 m.

From midday, showers will generally become more frequent. Generally low avalanche danger The avalanche risk is low. There is generally very little snow left. Only isolated wet snow slides are to be expected. The risk of entrainment in the fall terrain outweighs the risk of burial. The predominantly wet snowpack may consolidate somewhat as it cools down. At high altitudes, there is a thin layer of fresh snow in places. There is only a little snow left and the sunny slopes are usually already snowed out. The avalanche danger remains low. The weather gradually calms down on Wednesday. The spring clouds in the afternoon are already significantly fewer and it remains mostly dry.

The previously soaked snowpack has stabilised somewhat in recent days due to the lower temperatures. The wet snow problem has therefore receded into the background, but cannot be completely ruled out on steep slopes that have not yet been discharged. With the current precipitation and strong winds, fresh drift snow packs are forming in places. These are mainly found in gullies and bowls as well as in areas adjacent to ridgelines. The drift snow packs are prone to triggering and can be triggered as small slab avalanches by a single person. The previously wet snowpack is currently consolidating and stabilising somewhat due to the low temperatures. At high altitudes, a thin layer of fresh snow is forming in places, which is being transported by strong winds and forming small-scale drift snow packs. The avalanche danger remains low.
