On Friday, after a mostly clear night, it will be quite sunny during the day despite passing high clouds. On Saturday, after a clear night, it will be mostly sunny during the day on Saturday. The zero-degree level will be around 3000 m on both days and winds will be light.
The danger of dry avalanches will continue to decrease. Conditions will be very favourable in the morning. Each day, the danger of wet avalanches will increase as the day progresses. Off-piste skiing and hut ascents should be completed in good time.

Moistening of the snowpack is progressing on northwest- to northeast-facing slopes between 2000 and 2500 m. It is especially on these aspects and at these altitudes that large and occasionally even very large wet slab avalanches may be triggered naturally as near-ground weak layers become moist for the first time. Weak layers in the old snowpack are most pronounced in the inneralpine regions of Valais and Grisons and it is especially here that wet slab avalanches triggered by human activity are also to be expected.
In addition, isolated avalanches may still be triggered at higher altitudes in the dry old snowpack or in the fresh and drifted snow from the beginning of the week.
