At altitudes between 1000 and 1500 metres there is a risk of ice storms!

Rain rapidly worsening the situation

At altitudes above 1200 metres, the risk of avalanches is high. Even large avalanches are spontaneously triggered.

Snowpack

dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind

New snow accumulates on top of the frozen old snow cover, which puts a huge additional strain. At a depth of about 20 cm, there is a weak shear layer in the old snow, which is breaking up in many places due to the additional load.

Tendency

On the steepest slopes, a small creep of new snow can be triggered. A small avalanche of dry, packed snow can be triggered when snow drifts are loaded on steep slopes. Even small avalanches can cause a loss of balance and a fall into an abyss. Especially on shady slopes above 2400 m, a small or medium-sized avalanche can be triggered by a heavy load. Especially on shady slopes above 2400 m, a small or medium sized landslide can be triggered by a high load.

The risk will increase slightly due to precipitation

Newly fallen snow usually sticks well to the ground, except above the tree line, where the wind creates snow drifts. There, even a small additional load can trigger an avalanche.
