Avalanche Service Styria Sunday 28 December 2025

Danger level

2000m

Avalanche Problem

Persistent weak layer

2000m

Only isolated avalanche prone locations in the high altitudes

The avalanche risk is generally low. Isolated avalanche prone locations can be found at high altitudes in extremely steep gullies in the northern sector, where large additional loads can occasionally trigger smaller slab avalanches. The danger of falling dominates over the danger of avalanches!

Snowpack

The snow surface is usually hard and icy, with sunny slopes up to over 2000 metres above sea level. Below the melting hard crust, kinetic metamorphism weakens the snow base, fundament.

Tendency

The avalanche danger remains low at least until Monday.

Danger level

Low avalanche danger, very little snow.

The avalanche risk is low and there are hardly any avalanche prone locations. Take care on icy surfaces due to the risk of falling.

Snowpack

The new fallen snow of the past few days has settled well and was moistened on the surface on Saturday. A crust of hard snow formed during the night. Only in shady gullies and bowls is there an old snow foundation in places, which may contain weak layers in places. In general, the snow thickness is very low.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will remain low over the next few days.
