Snowpack structure (2026-04-23):
Moisture penetration into the snowpack is well advanced. The most precarious areas are slopes where weak layers in the old snowpack are becoming wet for the first time. At present, this mainly affects north-facing slopes between approximately 2200 and 2500 m, and east- and west-facing slopes between approximately 2500 and 2800 m. On south-facing slopes, the snowpack is thoroughly moist as far as into the high alpine regions. In Grisons, the weak layers in the old snowpack are the least deeply buried, which means that wet slab avalanches can also be triggered by human activity in some places.Higher up, the snowpack is still dry. There are still weak layers in the old snowpack, but no more dry avalanches have been reported in recent days.
