The fresh snow before Christmas significantly increases the avalanche danger in western Austria! Especially in parts of the Tyrolean Oberland and Vorarlberg, the warning level is 4 out of 5 above the tree line. Extra caution and restraint are required!
In the Tyrolean Oberland, danger level 4 applies above the tree line, for example in the Allgäu Alps and the western Lechtal Alps. “Since Saturday, 30 to 60 centimeters of snow has fallen widely,” the country’s avalanche warning service said. There’s a lot more to come on Monday and Christmas.
“The fresh snow and extensive snowdrift accumulations are very sensitive to triggers. Individual winter sports enthusiasts can cause avalanches, even large ones, in many places. In all recordings, the danger spots are above the tree line. “There are also individual danger spots near the tree line,” the experts warn.
Trend: Avalanche danger remains
Moderate snow avalanches are possible on steep, grassy slopes. “They can go off at any time of the day or night.” The avalanche danger remains. “In fresh snow and storms, large and in some cases very large spontaneous avalanches are still possible,” the experts continued.
In other parts of Tyrol, avalanche warning level 3 was in force above the tree line on Monday – significant danger.
The avalanche situation remains very critical
On Monday, the avalanche danger above the tree line was also considered high in parts of Vorarlberg. The Lechquelle Mountains were hit.
In the mountains, deep winter weather with freezing cold was also predicted for Monday and Tuesday. “The avalanche situation remains very critical,” said the avalanche warning services in Vorarlberg and Tyrol.
