Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow can be problematic. Isolated small loose snow avalanches can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain. Isolated small glide-snow avalanches cannot be ruled out on steep, smooth slopes.
Snowpack
Up to summit levels the snowpack is moist, sometimes wet, which is intensified by rainshowers. 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. In some places a few centimeters of loose snow are expected to fall above 1600m.
Tendency
No significant change of avalanche danger anticipated.
Danger level

Avalanche Problem
Gliding snow
1500m
Wet snow
Avalanche danger above 1500 m is moderate, below that altitude danger 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. Only in isolated cases can small dry slab avalanches still be triggered on very steep shady high altitude slopes close to ridgelines.
Snowpack
Up to high altitudes thee snowpack is thoroughly moist or wet. The snowpack is also wet at the ground wide-spread, therefore, it can start gliding over smooth ground. Only on shady side slopes at highest altitudes is there still dry snow. In isolated cases there is a weak layer near the ground. Small snowdrifts have accumulated close to ridges at high altitude. In south aspects, the snowpack has become patchy even at high altitude. In some places a few centimeters of loose snow are expected to fall above 1600m.
Tendency
At intermediate altitudes slight consolidation of the well moistened snowpack due to expected cooler temperatures.

At intermediate altitudes, small wet snow avalanches can trigger. Isolated avalanche prone locations (dry avalanches) at high altitudes.
Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: wet snow. Small loose-snow slides can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain. Isolated small glide-snow avalanches cannot be ruled out on steep, smooth slopes. Only in isolated cases can small dry slab avalanches still be triggered on very steep shady high altitude slopes close to ridgelines.
