Avalanche warning levels
Before every ski tour, it is worth taking a look at the current avalanche warning level. It provides information about the danger level in the terrain and helps to correctly assess risks and plan tours safely.
The snowpack is generally well consolidated and stable. Avalanches are only triggered by a large additional load in extremely steep terrain and in isolated places. Only small spontaneous avalanches are possible and generally safe touring conditions prevail.
Avalanches can only be triggered if there is a large additional load. The snowpack is only moderately firm on some steep slopes steeper than 30°, but otherwise well consolidated. Extremely steep slopes should be avoided.
The snowpack is only weakly to moderately consolidated on many slopes. Avalanches are possible, especially on steep slopes and with low additional loads. Medium and large avalanches can also be triggered spontaneously.
The snowpack is not stable on many slopes. The snowpack is only weakly consolidated and avalanches are possible even with low additional loads, for example from individual skiers. There are also many spontaneous medium to large avalanches. Ski tours are not recommended.
The snow cover is not stable and only very weakly consolidated. Large avalanches are possible even in moderately steep terrain. Ski tours are not possible at avalanche warning level 5. Find out about the current avalanche situation before every hike at: www.lawine-steiermark.at
Everyone is responsible for their own route selection and assessment of their own experience, ability and alpine dangers when ski touring in the ascent and descent in alpine terrain!
