Caution on the northern sides of the high altitudes at transition areas from little to much snow.
The avalanche risk is moderate above 1800 metres and low below that. Persistent weak layers are the main problem. On very steep slopes in the north, large slab avalanches with a high additional load, such as a cornice break, can be triggered in isolated cases. At medium altitudes, individual small to medium gliding avalanches are also possible on slopes with smooth ground. Smaller loose snow avalanches can detach themselves from steep terrain interspersed with rocks.
Snowpack
On shady slopes at higher altitudes, weak layers of faceted crystals can be found deep in the snowpack. These are usually covered by compact or crusted can form layers of snow. Outgoing longwave radiation at night is limited and the snow surface is only partially crusted can form in the morning. As it warms up during the day, the snow softens, especially in the sun, and loses its bond. At higher altitudes, faceted crystals have formed on the north side under a thin, surface melt-freeze crust. Towards the ground, the snowpack is wet in the middle layers. On the south side and at lower altitudes, the ground is becoming more and more pale.
Tendency
The avalanche danger hardly changes.
