“Summer Start” in White – Fresh Snow: Roadblocks and Great Avalanche Danger

Date:

Summer time returned to Sunday – on the Tyroolean Mountains and some on the street, on the other hand, the winter gives a comeback at the start of the week. For example, on the Fernpass there were blocks on Monday morning due to the stuck truck – there is avalanche – warning level four of the five in the mountains in large parts of the state!

Who turned the clock – is it … Winter again? Summer time has been in force again since the weekend. For many vehicle drivers there was a winter surprise in Tyrol on Monday morning.

Trucks are stuck on the Fernpass
For example on the B179 Fernpassstraße: “It took place there in the morning because of the snowfall and the truck,” says a official from the State Transport Department compared to the “Kroon”. The snowfall gradually decreased again – but there was therefore an extensive traffic jams.

It is also deep -wintend on the Arlberg
There was also the Snowway and Winter Driving Conditions on Arlbergstrasse and ArlbergPass. It is not for nothing that the winter tire is still valid at the end of March/beginning of April!

Snowfall on Monday morning also on the Brenner. On the A13 Burner Highway the jobs were “black”. “So far there have been no coarser problems because of the snow there and in other parts of Tyrol,” the police said.

Large avalanche risk at higher locations
The late winter malaise on Monday causes a dramatic increase in the avalanche risk in the Tyrolean Mountains. The Avalanche Warning Service was four of the five-part scale for the Northern Zillertal Alps and the Venice and Großglockner group above 2200 meters.

There had been rainfall in recent days and another 50 to 80 centimeters of fresh snow were expected on Monday. The snow line sometimes sinks in Tallagen.
