Avalanche danger is moderate above 1500m, below that altitude it is low. Gliding snow is the main problem. On very steep slopes in all aspects, wet glide-snow avalanches can release naturally over smooth ground, releases are mostly small sized. In addition, small wet loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain.

Snowpack
Moistening of the snowpack progresses. At the ground the snowpack is wet wide-spread, therefore, it starts gliding over smooth ground. Otherwise it is mostly stable. Patches with dry snow at the surface are becoming rare, these are now only found on shady highest altitude slopes. In isolated cases there is a weak layer near the ground. Small snowdrifts have accumulated close to ridges. In south aspects, the snowpack has become patchy even at high altitude.
Tendency
Danger of dry avalanches can increase somewhat.
Danger level
Avalanches are rare.
Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow can be problematic. Isolated small loose snow avalanches can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain.
Snowpack
Up to the summits the snowpack is now moist, partly even wet. Possibility of gliding movements over wet smooth ground. Otherwise the snowpack is mostly stable. Only on shady side slopes above approx. 1300m you will now still find a cohesive snow cover. Regionally, south-facing terrain is almost completely bare.
Tendency
Avalanche danger will not change.

Avalanche Problem
Wet snow
Only in isolated high altitude zones possibility of dry avalanches.
Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: wet snow. Small loose-snow slides can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain.
Snowpack
Moistening of the snowpack progresses up to high altitudes. Wide-spread, the snowpack is wet at the ground and can start sliding over smooth ground. Otherwise it is mostly stable.

The danger of dry avalanches can increase somewhat at high altitudes.
