Danger by Elevation
Active Avalanche Problems
The avalanche risk is subject to daytime changes. The snowpack is compact in the morning. However, this quickly loses firmness. Wet slab avalanches and loose snow avalanches can then release spontaneously. Wet slab avalanches in gullies and bowls caused by an alpinist cannot be ruled out.
Due to the cooling and outgoing longwave radiation, the firmness of the snowpack at higher altitudes increases again somewhat. At medium altitudes the snowpack remains moist, at low altitudes it is wet. In the Rax- Schneeberg area, there is little snow below 1400 metres.
