the essentials in brief
- Lots of fresh snow in the Ticino mountains and in the Misox continues until Monday evening.
- Great avalanche danger on the southern slopes of the Alps (level 4 of 5)
- Night after Monday: even in the north there is snow in some areas to the depths
Lots of fresh snow
In the south it continues to snow until Tuesday night. Although the snowfall in the Engadine subsides, it can continue to be strong at times in Ticino. The snow line is between 600 and 800 meters. The amount of snow that has already fallen adds another 10 to 20 cm on Monday night, in areas elevated up to 50 cm.
Road conditions in winter
Particularly on the north-south axis, significant restrictions are still to be expected due to snowfall. But even at low elevations on the northern side of the Alps, especially in the east, heavy snowfall is possible locally from Sunday afternoon to Monday morning, and there are wintry conditions on the roads.
In the south there is a great danger of avalanches
Large amounts of fresh snow in combination with strong winds at high altitudes have created a great avalanche hazard in the southern Alps.
