AVALANCHE WARNING LEVELS AT A GLANCE
ACCORDING TO EUROPEAN AVALANCHE WARNING SERVICES
1 Low
SNOWPACK STABILITY
The snow cover is generally well consolidated and stable.
AVALANCHE TRIGGERING PROBABILITY
Avalanches can generally only be triggered if there is a large additional load** in isolated places on extremely steep terrain*. Only slides and small avalanches are possible spontaneously.
2 Moderate
SNOWPACK STABILITY
The snow cover is only moderately consolidated on some steep slopes*, otherwise generally well consolidated.
AVALANCHE TRIGGERING PROBABILITY
Avalanches can be triggered in particular with high additional loads**, especially on the indicated steep slopes*. Large spontaneous avalanches are not to be expected.
3 Considerable
SNOWPACK STABILITY
The snow cover is only moderately to weakly consolidated on many steep slopes*.
AVALANCHE TRIGGERING PROBABILITY
Avalanches can be triggered even with low additional loads**, especially on the indicated steep slopes*. Occasionally some medium, but occasionally also large avalanches are possible.
4 High
SNOWPACK STABILITY
The snow cover is weakly consolidated on most steep slopes.
AVALANCHE TRIGGERING PROBABILITY
Avalanches are likely to be triggered on numerous steep slopes even with low additional loads**. In some cases, many medium and several large avalanches can be expected spontaneously.
5 Very high
SNOWPACK STABILITY
