Watch out for wind slab above the tree line in steep terrain!
The avalanche risk is moderate at higher altitudes, partly above the tree line. In the steep terrain of the high altitudes, especially adjacent to ridgelines, behind terrain edges and in steep bowls and gullies, snowdrift accumulations can still be triggered as small to rarely medium slab avalanches, in some cases by low additional loads. In the steep terrain on shady slopes, slab avalanches could still be triggered locally due to the problem of old snow.
Snowpack
Above the tree line, especially at higher altitudes, there are still snowdrift accumulations that could still be disturbed. The snow layer on the old snowpack has already settled a little. The snowpack is mostly stable, up to high altitudes in the centre it is partly wet. At higher elevations and on shady slopes, the snow base, fundament is partly weakened.
Tendency
No significant change.

Pay attention to local avalanche prone locations in exposed terrain!
The avalanche risk is mostly low. Nevertheless, there are a few avalanche prone locations due to wind slabs. Occasionally, slab avalanches can be triggered in the ridgeline and summit area, behind terrain edges and in steep bowls and gullies, sometimes even with a small additional load. The persistent weak layer problem can only occur very rarely on shady slopes and high up in extreme terrain.
Snowpack
Above the tree line, there are still snowdrift accumulations in places that could be disturbed. The snow layer on the snow base, fundament has already settled. The old snowpack is mostly stable, up to high altitudes in the centre it is partly moist. The snow base, fundament is occasionally weakened.
Tendency
Despite some new fallen snow, the avalanche situation hardly changes.
