Avalanche Problems

Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs require caution.

The wind slabs of last week can be released in isolated cases on very steep west, north and east facing slopes. The avalanche prone locationsLocations delineated by aspect or altitude where avalanches can trigger and people or objects are at risk.EAWS glossary are to be found in particular in gulliesUsually a steep, elongated, eroded trench; typically prone to snowdrift accumulation.EAWS glossary and bowlsRounded or elongated concavity; typically tending to accumulate snowdrift.EAWS glossary above approximately 2400 m. The mostly small wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.

Outlook

→ Constant avalanche danger

2 December 2025

From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on extremely steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

Snowpack & Weather

Somewhat older wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpackSnow layers deposited from earlier precipitation, prior to fresh fallen snow. Old snow layers consist of metamorphosed snow crystals.EAWS glossary especially on steep shady slopes. The high temperatures gave rise to moistening of the snowpack at intermediate altitudes.
