Strong increase in avalanche danger already in the morning!
Spontaneous wet snow avalanches to be expected!
The avalanche danger increases from moderate to considerable during the morning. Spontaneous avalanche activity increases with the warming and sunshine. Medium-sized and occasionally large wet loose snow and slab avalanches are to be expected in particular on the sunny slopes. Wet slab avalanches can also be triggered by ski tourers. Gliding avalanches are also increasingly to be expected on the sunny slopes.
Snowpack
Due to strong warming and solar radiation, the snowpack on the sunny slopes becomes moist or wet and unstable early in the day. In addition to loose snow slides, spontaneous, wet slab avalanches can also be expected, as liquid water in the snowpack can reactivate former weak layers in the persistent weak layer. The avalanches are usually medium-sized, but can also be large in some cases. On sunny slopes, the snowpack begins to increasingly glide on smooth ground. Deeper layers are increasingly thinning out.
Tendency
The temperature will drop slightly on Monday with a weak cold front. The wet snow problem eases a little.

Increase in avalanche danger already in the morning!
Spontaneous wet snow avalanches to be expected!
Spontaneous avalanche activity increases with the warming and sunshine. Small to medium-sized wet loose snow and slab avalanches are to be expected in particular on the sunny slopes. Wet slab avalanches can also be triggered by ski tourers. Gliding avalanches are also increasingly to be expected on the sunny slopes.
Snowpack
Due to strong warming and sunny slopes, the snowpack on the sunny side becomes moist, wet and unstable early in the day. In addition to loose snow slides, spontaneous, wet slab avalanches can also be expected in isolated cases, as liquid water in the snowpack can reactivate former weak layers in the persistent weak layer. The avalanches will mostly remain small to medium-sized. On the sunny slopes, the snowpack begins to increasingly glide on slippery ground. There is generally little snow and deeper layers are increasingly thinning out.
Tendency
The temperature will drop slightly on Monday with a weak cold front. The wet snow problem eases a little.

Low avalanche danger, but watch out for spontaneous wet snow slides!
The avalanche danger is rated as "low". Nevertheless, small, wet loose snow slides and occasional small gliding avalanches are to be expected.
Snowpack
The thin snowpack becomes damp or wet in all areas and can start to glide snow on slippery surfaces. In general, there is very little snow and the lower layers are increasingly thinning out.
Tendency
The temperature will drop slightly on Monday with a weak cold front. The avalanche risk remains low.
