Switzerland — Avalanche Forecast

Snow coverSince Monday, there have been repeated episodes of light snow at high altitude, accompanied by a moderate southwesterly wind. Snow will continue to fall in the north until Friday morning, sometimes down to low altitudes towards the end of the precipitation.The fresh snow is primarily lying on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m on a thin old snow cover that has mostly undergone faceting. Fractures are therefore to be expected in the old snowpack, especially where a continuous, widespread snow cover was already present before this week's snowfall.Isolated wet slides of fresh snow are possible on sunny slopes.
