Watch out for small-scale drift snow at high altitudes and avoid it. Often only a little snow.

The avalanche danger is low. Smaller, spontaneous sliding snow avalanches are the main problem. They are primarily possible below 2200 m in the east to south to west slope directions. Very steep slopes with slippery ground such as very steep meadows, forest aisles and rock slabs are affected. Areas below sliding snow cracks should be avoided. At high altitudes, drifting snow can also be problematic, especially on very steep slopes close to the crest with exposures from west to north to east. Small slab avalanches can occasionally be triggered there with a small additional load. The risk of falling must be taken into account.

Snowpack

At medium elevations, the snow cover is moist and compact, often wet at the base. In many places, a snow cover forms overnight. At higher altitudes, the snow cover is mostly dry. With winds from southerly directions, small accumulations of drifting snow could form near the crests, especially in the Allgäu and Werdenfels. On shady slopes, layers of angular crystals have been preserved in places in the old snow at high altitudes.

Tendency

Little change in avalanche danger.
