Snowpack Structure

As the weather warms up, much of the snow from the last snowfall has been cleared away. The snow line is at around 1200 m. The snow freezes at night but quickly becomes harder during the day and may become unstable in places.

Weather Forecast

Saturday will be quite clear. There will be only a light easterly wind. The temperature at 1500 m will be around 7 °C mid-day.

Tendency

Typical spring conditions are expected over the next few days. The snowpack will freeze overnight, but during the day, with sunshine and high temperatures, the snow will change and melt more quickly.

Avalanche Activity

Minor wet snow avalanches possible due to thawing

The snowpack of the last snowfall has become unstable as the weather warms up. The danger of wet snow avalanches has increased, especially on extreme terrain. On grassy slopes, gliding avalanches will be possible. This only applies to the highest peaks where there is some more snow.
