Danger level



The backcountry touring conditions are spring-like. Wet and gliding avalanches require caution.

The early morning will see favourable conditions mostly. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of wet avalanches, in particular on very steep sunny slopes. Individual mostly small natural avalanches are possible. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Snowpack

dp.10: springtime scenario

During the night the weather will be partly cloudy in some regions. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften during the day. This applies in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m.
Towards its base, the snowpack is well consolidated. At low and intermediate altitudes a little snow is lying.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist.
