PROBABILITY
INDICATIONS
RISK 1
WEAK
STABILITY
On most of the slopes the snowpack is well stabilized.
PROBABILITY
Exceptionally, avalanches can only be triggered on some very favorable slopes (*).
INDICATIONS
Hiking and downhill skiing are possible with almost no restrictions.
RISK 2
LIMITED
STABILITY
On some slopes (**) sufficiently prone to avalanches, the mantle is only moderately stabilized. Elsewhere, it is well stabilized.
PROBABILITY
Avalanches can be triggered mainly by strong overloads (***) and on some slopes whose characteristics are normally described in the bulletin. Spontaneous outbursts of large avalanches are not expected.
INDICATIONS
Excursions should be planned in advance. Caution is recommended when choosing itineraries, avoiding, as much as possible, steep slopes with the orientation and altitude indicated.
RISK 3
NOTABLE
STABILITY
On many sufficiently favorable slopes (**), the mantle is only moderately or weakly stabilized.
PROBABILITY
Avalanches can be triggered even by weak overloads and on many slopes whose characteristics are usually described in the bulletin. In certain situations, some spontaneous outbursts of medium and sometimes large avalanches are possible.
INDICATIONS
Steep slopes should be avoided in the orientations and altitudes indicated. It requires a great deal of experience and an ability to appreciate the danger of avalanches.
RISK 4
STRONG
STABILITY
On most of the slopes (**) sufficiently prone to avalanches, the snowpack is weakly stabilized.
PROBABILITY
Avalanches can be triggered even by weak overloads on most slopes sufficiently prone to them. In certain situations, numerous spontaneous outbursts of medium and sometimes large avalanches are possible.
INDICATIONS
Hiking should be limited to areas with moderate slopes. It is possible that the lower slopes are equally exposed to avalanche danger.
RISK 5
VERY STRONG
STABILITY
Generalized instability of the snowpack.
PROBABILITY
Numerous large spontaneous avalanches are expected, including areas with unsuitable slopes.
INDICATIONS
You have to give up hiking.
