Danger level



Low avalanche danger

The avalanche risk is low. As the day warms up and the sun shines, the probability of triggering wet avalanches increases slightly during the day. Wet snow avalanches are possible in isolated cases on steep slopes that have not yet been discharged. Overall, only small avalanches are currently to be expected.

Snowpack

The previously moist snowpack was able to consolidate due to the low temperatures. On shady slopes at high altitudes, weak layers of deep rime are still present in the persistent weak layer. Low and sunny slopes are completely snowed out.

Tendency

This is followed by several days of very sunny and dry weather. The sky is even cloudless for long stretches. With the increasing warming and sunshine, the activity of wet snow avalanches increases again.
