Injury from stones and falling are the main dangers.
The avalanche danger is low. Only very rarely can drift snow packs be triggered by individuals in shady slopes, avalanches remain small. In areas adjacent to the ridgeline, crest or summit, there are very occasional trigger points for small avalanches that are difficult to disturb, even in persistent weak layers.
Snowpack
The snow depth is well below average for the time of year, low to medium elevations and the sunny slopes are widely covered in snow. The snow cover, snowpack is moistened during the daytime changes on the sunny slopes and often remains frozen in the shade. At high altitudes on the shady slopes, weak layers of faceted crystals are occasionally preserved in the snow cover, mostly in the vicinity of crusts.
Tendency
The avalanche danger remains low, even if it snows a little on Wednesday.

Rare avalanche prone locations in persistent weak layers of snow
The avalanche danger is low. Small avalanches in particular can occasionally be triggered by one person in shady slope high alpine regions above 2600 metres. This is where the older and fresh foehn drift snow has formed a suitable shelf above a weak layer (usually in persistent weak layer). In addition to the risk of burial, the risk of falling and injury should be taken into account.
Snowpack
On the sunny slope, the snow cover, snowpack is moistened during the daytime changes. On the shady slope, it often remains hard-frozen on the surface, below which there is partly unbound edged snow at altitude, which can serve as a weak layer in exceptional cases, but usually does not tend to propagate fractures. This is above the hardness of the old snow from early winter or crusts in the snow cover, snowpack. The snow depth is well below average at all altitudes.
Tendency
The avalanche danger remains low, even if it snows a little on Wednesday.
Danger level
Lack of snow and stones are the main dangers.
The avalanche risk is low. There is usually not enough snow for snow sports and avalanches can hardly be triggered.
Snowpack
There is no closed snow cover, snowpack and the terrain is mostly bare.
Tendency
The avalanche danger remains low, even if it snows a little on Wednesday.
