Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Isolated whumpfing sounds can indicate the danger. <br/> <br/> As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.
