The avalanche danger will not change significantly in the north and will decrease in the south.
After the weather calms during the night, on Monday strong northwesterly winds will set in as the day progresses as well as intense snowfall in the north. The snowfall level will remain at low altitudes. It will be quite sunny in the far south.
The avalanche danger will increase significantly in the north in the afternoon. There will be no significant change in the south.

", "avalanche_activity": {"comment": "", "highlights": ""}, "snowpack_structure": "Over the last two days, lots of snow has fallen in the north down to low altitudes. This snow has been transported significantly by sometimes stormy northerly winds and also by the Bise wind on Friday. In the south, it was mainly looser old snow that was transported. This has resulted in snowdrift accumulations in all regions; in the north these accumulations are large. On wind-protected north-facing slopes, fresh and drifted snow is lying on very loose snow. On south-facing slopes, meanwhile, it is often lying on a crust up to high altitudes. In many cases, the surface of the old snowpack has also been shaped by the wind and is irregular.
In the upper part of the old snowpack, in locations sheltered from the wind there is a burried surface hoar layer in which avalanches may still be triggered. In the inneralpine regions of Valais and in Grisons in particular, avalanches are also possible in weak layers near the ground.
