Avalanches can over a wide area be released easily. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects above approximately 2000 m. The avalanche prone locations are numerous. These places are covered with new snow and are therefore barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Mostly the avalanches are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as on wind-loaded slopes. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. Experience and restraint are important. The old snowpack is faceted. Over a wide area new snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. The various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. Hardly any decrease in avalanche danger. Avalanches can as before be released, even by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. steady 2026-01-18T16:00:00Z 2026-01-19T16:00:00Z 2026-01-18 DP5 DP6 2026-01-17T16:00:00Z 2026-01-17T16:00:00Z 2026-01-18T16:00:00Z false Tuxer Alps West Tuxer Alps East low 2200 all_day considerable 2200 all_day wind_slab 2200 NE NW W N E all_day very_poor some 2 slab A precarious avalanche situation will persist in some regions.
