The avalanche risk is predominantly moderate. Below the snowfall level, spontaneous medium wet snow avalanches from steep, undischarged terrain should be noted due to rainfall. Due to new fallen snow and strong winds, fresh snowdrift accumulations can form locally in the ridgelines and summits, which must be taken into account.
Snowpack
Due to new fallen snow and wind, fresh snowdrift accumulations are forming locally at higher elevations. Below the snowfall level, the snowpack is decreasing firmness due to the rain. The old snowpack is moist to wet up to high altitudes. However, weak layers may still be present in the old snowpack, which is not yet moist, particularly on shady slopes and at higher elevations. The snowpack can also start gliding snow on the ground.
Tendency
With the expected rise in temperature and sunshine, there will be daytime changes in the avalanche risk.

Moderate avalanche danger - fresh wind slab and wet snow!
The avalanche risk is predominantly moderate. Due to new fallen snow and strong winds, fresh snowdrift accumulations can form, especially in the high areas adjacent to ridgelines, which must be observed. Locally, wet, naturally triggered avalanches of medium intensity are possible from very steep, extreme terrain below the snowfall level. In the shady high altitudes, slab avalanches can still be triggered in very steep terrain due to the old snow problem.
Snowpack
New fallen snow and wind are causing fresh snowdrift accumulations in the higher elevations. Below the snowfall level, rainfall causes a decreasing firmness of the snowpack. The old snowpack is moist to wet up to high altitudes. However, weak layers may still be present in the old snowpack, which is not yet moist, especially on shady slopes and at higher elevations. The snowpack can also start gliding snow on the ground.
Tendency
With the expected rise in temperatures and sunshine on Saturday, there will be daytime changes in the avalanche risk.
