At last a stabilisation of the avalanche situation is in sight. The weather also seems to be improving, at least until beyond the middle of the week.

After the spell of warm weather, which turned out far less dramatic than announced, the forecast says it will cool down, and with that the avalanche situation at medium altitudes will improve significantly; at low altitudes, attention must currently still be paid to the snow becoming wet through. In high alpine terrain the settling will be slower, so a critical assessment of snowpack stability at high altitudes is advisable.
