Avalanche danger is low. Isolated danger zones occur on extremely steep shady slopes. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being forced to take a fall require consideration. On steep grassy slopes where there is sufficient snow on the ground, small glide-snow avalanches are possible.
Snowpack
The snowpack has settled well and has consolidated increasingly. On shady slopes the uppermost layers are still loose or soft, on sunny slopes a crust has often formed. On high, mostly shady slopes, weak layers are evident inside the old snowpack, also at ground level, which avalanches can trigger down to lower layers. The older drifts at high altitudes are triggerable in isolated cases.

Often favorable conditions but caution urged on shady steep high altitude slopes
Isolated danger zones occur particularly on shady steep slopes where the snow is shallow and in gullies and transitions from shallow to deep snow. Small-to-medium sized triggerings are possible by large additional loading in particular. In steep grass-covered terrain, especially on sunny slopes but also some shady ones, small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches are possible. Caution below glide cracks. Due to strong weaterly winds, mostly small sized snowdrift accumulations will be generated at high altitudes during the daytime.
Snowpack
The snowpack has settled well and consolidated increasingly. On shady slopes the uppermost layers are still loose or soft, on sunny slopes a crust has often formed which softens during the daytime. On high mostly shady slopes near ridgelines, older snowpack accumulations require attentiveness. In addition, weak layers are evident inside the old snowpack at high altitudes, also at ground level, which avalanches can trigger down to.

Favorable conditions predominate
Avalanche danger is often low, moderate at high altitudes. In some places more deeply embedded layers inside the snowpack are weak. Small-to-medium sized avalanches are thereby possible, especially by large additional loading. On steep grassy slopes, especially on sunny slopes but increasingly frequently on shady slopes, small glide-snow avalanches are possible. Caution urged below glide cracks.

The snowpack has settled well and consolidated increasingly. On shady slopes the uppermost layers are still loose or soft, on sunny slopes a crust has often formed. In isolated cases, more deeply embedded layers inside the old snowpack can be triggered by large additional loading. The older drifts at high altitudes are generally compact. Mild temperatures reinforce gliding movements of the snowpack.
