Danger level


Avalanche Problem
Wet snow


Low avalanche danger!

The avalanche danger remains low. Only on steep slopes at higher altitudes with a sufficiently thick snowpack are individual, mostly small, rarely medium wet snow avalanches possible in all aspects.

Snowpack

The snowpack may firm somewhat on the surface as it cools. Otherwise it will be soaked or soaked through to the higher elevations and generally not very firm. There will be a few snow showers in the afternoon. Low and middle elevations will often be icy.

Tendency

No significant change in the avalanche situation in the coming days. The publication of avalanche reports will be cancelled for the 2025/26 season.


Danger level


Avalanche Problem
Wet snow


Predominantly low, locally moderate avalanche danger!

As the weather cools down, the danger of wet snow avalanches generally decreases. The avalanche risk is predominantly low, sometimes moderate locally depending on the snow conditions. In the event of intermittent sunshine or rain showers at higher altitudes, individual spontaneous or person-triggered small to medium-sized wet snow avalanches are still possible from steep terrain that has not been discharged.

Snowpack

The snowpack may firm somewhat as it cools down. Otherwise it will be soaked or soaked through to the higher elevations and generally not very firm. There will be a few snow showers in the afternoon. Only on shady slopes at high altitudes can there still be isolated weak layers in the old snowpack. Low and middle elevations are often already bare.

Tendency

No significant change in the avalanche situation in the coming days. The publication of avalanche reports will be cancelled for the 2025/26 season.
