The avalanche danger is moderate. Fresh wind slabs are formed by storms from the north-west. This falls on an unfavourably built-up old snow surface and is prone to triggering. Small avalanches in particular can be triggered by a single person in some places from around 2200 metres. Take particular care in terrain traps, areas adjacent to the ridgeline, crests or summits and in gullies and bowls.
Snowpack
The snow cover, snowpack is highly variable. In high, shady slopes, the melt-freeze crust usually consists of edged snow with no binding. Due to the overall highly built-up transformed snow cover, the potential for fracture propagation is generally low. Fractures are most possible in fresh wind slab snow, above the hard old snow foundation from early winter, or very rarely in the vicinity of crusts. The snow depth is well below average at all altitudes.
Tendency
The avalanche danger increases slightly with more new fallen snow and wind on Wednesday.
Danger level
Watch out locally for small snowdrift accumulations.
New fallen snow is being transported by north-westerly winds onto mostly loose ground. The risk of burial outweighs the risk of injury from stones underneath, the avalanche risk is low.
Snowpack
In some areas, up to 15 cm of new or wind slab snow is falling on apery ground.
Tendency
The avalanche danger remains low despite the increase in fresh snow and wind on Wednesday.
Danger level
Rare release points and risk of injury from stones.
The risk of avalanches is low, but injury from stones and falling remain the main dangers. In
gullies and bowls adjacent to the ridgeline, crests or summits in shady slopes, there are very occasional difficult to
points in the persistent weak layer. Only very rarely can drift snow packs be triggered by individual
triggered by individuals. Avalanches remain small.
Snowpack
There is a below-average amount of snow and the snow cover, snowpack is highly variable in the interior. In
shady slopes, there are isolated weak layers of faceted crystals in the snow cover, snowpack
mostly in the vicinity of crusts. Due to the overall strongly built up
snow cover, the potential for fracture propagation is generally low.
Tendency
The avalanche danger remains low on Wednesday.

Fresh wind slab prone to triggering.
With new fallen snow and a stormy wind from the north-west, fresh prone to triggering snow packs are formed, which can be triggered by individuals in a few places from around 2200 metres. They are deposited on an unfavourably building snow cover, snowpack. Where there is more precipitation locally, enough snow can accumulate to bury people, especially in terrain traps. Take care behind exposed ridges and ridgelines, in gullies and bowls. In shady slopes at high altitudes, there are still very occasional release points in persistent weak layers that are difficult to disturb. The risk of injury from stones is not easily recognisable everywhere.
Snowpack
Fresh windslab snow is deposited on the highly variable and crusted old snowpack, more in the north than in the south. The connection is generally rather poor. In shady slopes, weak layers of faceted crystals are occasionally preserved in the snow cover, mostly in the vicinity of crusts. Due to the overall heavily built-up transformed snow cover, the fracture propagation potential in the persistent weak layer is generally low.
Tendency
The avalanche danger increases slightly with more new fallen snow and wind on Wednesday.
