Snowpack structure (2026-04-09):
The old snowpack contains various weak layers. In particular on wind-sheltered shady slopes, surface hoar is in some cases covered by snow. Deeper in the snowpack there are faceted layers, which in isolated cases are still prone to triggering, especially on seldom-used slopes with little snow cover. As daytime temperatures rise and the surface starts to moisten in some places, the likelihood of even dry avalanches being triggered is increasing during the course of each day.In addition, wet snow avalanches are to be expected in all regions as the day progresses. Isolated wet slab avalanches may also be triggered by human activity. Especially north of a line from the Rhone to the Rhine, isolated gliding avalanches are still to be expected. These are also usually triggered during the course of the day.
