Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Sunday 21.04.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stabile conditions. Be aware in sun-exposed aspects for natural triggered avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Loose snow

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Sunday 21. April 2024

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

I bratt terreng som får tilstrekkelig med sol kan mindre våte laussnøskred lausne av seg sjølv, eller slike skred kan bli lausna av skiløpar.

I indre, høgare strôk mot Finse, kan det være litt kaldare snø som flytter seg lettare med vinden. Skiløpar kan løyse ut mindre skred i den ferske fokksnøen her.

Det er ellers venta stabile forhold.

Ved sigesprekker er det forhold for glideskred.
