The avalanche danger increases from low to moderate during the daytime changes below 2800 metres.
In a few places in the terrain, wet avalanches can be triggered by winter sports. This is particularly the case in very steep terrain below around 2800 m, where there is still a lot of snow. In wet snow, avalanches can tear through to the ground, reach medium size and, if the terrain is unfavourable, advance into the green.
Above around 2400 m, there are isolated avalanche prone locations in the extended northern sector where slab avalanches can be triggered in persistent weak layers. Take care at the steep transitions from little to more snow.
Snowpack
The melt-freeze crust in the morning slowly softens during the day. The snowpack underneath consists of compact snow characterised by rain up to high altitudes. On shady slopes above around 2400 metres, there are still weak layers of angular forms and deep rime in the old snowpack close to the ground. Low altitudes and sunny slopes at medium altitudes are snowed out.
Tendency
More clouds in the following two nights - wet snow problem sets in earlier. Clear nights again towards the end of the week.
Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow
Low avalanche danger, watch out for wet snow.
The avalanche risk is low and increases slightly as the day warms up. Wet avalanches can only occasionally be triggered by winter sports. This is in particular where there is still a lot of snow, i.e. mainly on very steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in some cases on eastern and western slopes. The avalanches usually remain small, but can tear through to the ground in wet snow, occasionally reach medium size and, if the terrain is unfavourable, advance into the green.

On shady slopes from around 2400 metres, there are weak layers of deep rime in the old snowpack close to the ground. The snowpack is moist to wet up to high altitudes. Low altitudes and sunny slopes at medium altitudes are covered in snow.
