What counts as a avalanche warnings
Avalanche warnings rate snowpack stability, usually on a five-level European or North American danger scale, and describe which aspects and elevations are most dangerous. Most victims trigger the avalanche themselves, so the rating matters most for backcountry and off-piste travel, and for settlements below avalanche paths.
If a warning is active
- Check the regional avalanche bulletin before any off-piste or backcountry tour.
- Carry transceiver, probe and shovel - and know how to use them.
- Avoid steep slopes after heavy snowfall, wind loading or a rapid warm-up.
