In particular on steep shady slopes avalanches can be triggered in deep layers of the snowpack and reach large size in isolated cases, in particular in little used terrain above approximately 2000 m. Avalanches can additionally be released in near-surface layers by small loads. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. More small to medium-sized loose snow avalanches are possible. In the event of prolonged bright spells this applies on extremely steep slopes, in particular. Avalanches can in some cases release deeper layers of the snowpack. On steep grassy slopes and below approximately 2400 m small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible as a consequence of the new snow. This applies in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation in the south. 40 to 80 cm of snow has fallen since Wednesday. This applies at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Some snow will fall on Sunday. The wind will be moderate adjacent to ridgelines. The weather effects will facilitate a gradual stabilisation of the near-surface layers. Faceted weak layers exist deeper in the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. The old snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form on Monday. Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow are to be critically assessed. steady 2025-03-16T16:00:00Z 2025-03-17T16:00:00Z 2025-03-16 DP1 DP6 2025-03-16T09:01:11Z 2025-03-15T16:00:00Z 2025-03-16T16:00:00Z true Glockner Range Eastern Deferegger Alps Schober Mountains Central Stubai Alps Northern Zillertal Alps Venediger Range Lasörling Range Gröden Dolomites Lüsner Mountains Sexten Dolomites Upper Ahr Valley Southern Zillertal Alps Pfitsch Southern Sesvenna Group Schnals Ridge Northern Sesvenna Group Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge Hirzer Range Western Pfunderer Mountains Mount Saint Jakob Range Eastern Pfunderer Mountains Ratschings Durreck Range Langtaufers Rieserferner Mountains Southern Stubai Alps Western Deferegger Alps Ortler Range Ulten Valley Planeil Mountains Prags Dolomites Upper Passeier Valley Texel Mountains low 2000 all_day considerable 2000 all_day persistent_weak_layers 2000 NW NE N W all_day poor some 2 slab wind_slab 2200 NW NE E N W all_day poor some 2 slab Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released by winter sport participants on very steep west, north and northeast facing slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on little used shady slopes above approximately 2000 m and on very steep west facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can reach medium size. Fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on very steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Small to medium-sized loose snow avalanches are possible, in the event of prolonged bright spells especially on extremely steep slopes. On steep grassy slopes individual small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. 30 to 60 cm of snow fell in the last few days. Over a wide area 5 to 15 cm of snow, and up to 20 cm in some localities, will fall on Sunday. The sometimes moderate wind will transport the snow, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. The various wind slabs are lying on soft layers at elevated altitudes. Weak layers exist in the centre of the old snowpack in particular on little used shady slopes. The old snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. The high humditiy gave rise to moistening of the snowpack in some cases also at high altitude. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. As a consequence of a strengthening wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form. steady 2025-03-16T16:00:00Z 2025-03-17T16:00:00Z 2025-03-16 DP5 DP6 2025-03-16T09:01:11Z 2025-03-15T16:00:00Z 2025-03-16T16:00:00Z true Western Lechtal Alps Central Lechtal Alps Eastern Lechtal Alps Ammergau Alps Eastern Karwendel Mountains Western Karwendel Mountains Western Verwall Mountains Eastern Verwall Mountains Allgäu Alps Mieming Mountains low 2200 all_day moderate 2200 all_day wind_slab 2200 NW NE E N W all_day poor few 2 slab gliding_snow 2400 NW NE E SW S SE N W all_day very_poor few 2 glide Wind slabs require caution. Slight increase in danger of gliding avalanches on steep grassy slopes. More recent wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering.

The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Avalanches can in isolated cases reach medium size. On steep grassy slopes more frequent small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies in particular below approximately 2400 m. On extremely steep slopes individual small to medium-sized moist loose snow avalanches are possible. In the event of prolonged bright spells this applies in all aspects, in particular. Some snow will fall in some regions. The wind will be light to moderate. Soft wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Towards its base, the snowpack is largely stable. The old snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes.
