Avalanche problems

• 

  Wet snow

  Weakening of the snowpack due to liquid water from melt or rain infiltrating the snowpack.

  Good timing and trip planning are important. Consider avalanche runout zones.

Stability

As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of wet avalanches. Wet avalanches can in isolated cases be released by people, especially on very steep sunny slopes above approximately 2500 m, this also applies on very steep shady slopes below approximately 2500 m in gullies and bowls. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases and mostly by large additional loads in particular on very steep shady slopes, in particular above approximately 2500 m. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. This is the final hazard map for the winter 2025/26. Current information and announcements are posted on our blog. We wish all users of the Euregio Avalanche Report an accident-free summer season.
