Be careful, especially on shady slopes and extremely steep terrain!
The avalanche risk is moderate above 2000 metres and low below that. Persistent weak layers are problematic. Avalanche prone locations are in very steep terrain with aspects from west to north to east. Slab avalanches can occasionally be triggered there with little additional load. They usually remain small, so the danger of being swept away is greater than the danger of being buried. On very steep, shady slopes, slab avalanches can be triggered in rare cases with a large additional load, for example by a small, superficial avalanche in deep-lying weak layers, and then reach medium size. Sunlight can trigger small, wet loose snow avalanches from extremely steep terrain.
Snowpack
On the western, northern and eastern slopes at higher altitudes, weak layers can be found under older wind slabs near the surface in some places. On shady slopes at higher altitudes, weak layers of large, faceted crystals are preserved deep in the compact old snowpack. On the northern sides of the higher elevations, the snow is still powdery on the surface in areas sheltered from the wind. Overall there is little snow, the southern sides are thinning out more and more.
Tendency
The avalanche danger hardly changes.
