Danger level



Generally low avalanche danger

The avalanche risk is low. There is generally very little snow left. Only isolated wet snow slides are to be expected. The risk of entrainment in the fall terrain outweighs the risk of burial.

Snowpack

The thin, consistently moist snowpack may consolidate a little due to the cooling. A thin layer of fresh snow is forming on the surface in places at high altitudes. There is only a little snow left and the sunny slopes are usually already snowed out.

Tendency

The changeable, slightly cooler mountain weather will continue on Tuesday. The avalanche risk remains low.

Avalanche Problem
Wet snow


Low avalanche danger, but still some wet snow problems!

The avalanche risk is low. Nevertheless, spontaneous wet snow avalanches triggered by people can occur in a few places, in particular after being soaked by intermittent sunlight or rain showers. The avalanches usually remain small to medium-sized. Gliding avalanches are also possible in isolated cases.

Snowpack

The snowpack can consolidate a little as it cools down. However, it can become soaked and unstable again in places due to intermittent sunshine or rain showers. A thin layer of fresh snow will form on the surface in places at high altitudes. The snow can begin to glide on a smooth surface.

Tendency

The changeable, slightly cooler mountain weather will continue on Tuesday. The avalanche risk remains low.
