Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Gliding snow
Wet snow
Wet and gliding snow represent the main danger.
A clear night will be followed in the early morning by favourable avalanche conditions generally. From the middle of the day small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep sunny slopes in all altitude zones and on grassy slopes.
Snowpack
>
In the next few hours the weather will be very warm.
Near-ridge shady slopes: In many places there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day.
Above approximately 2000 m there are 100 to 200 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. Snow depths vary greatly at elevated altitudes, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Tendency
Thursday: Gradual decrease in danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides as the temperature drops.
