Orange warning regarding wind and snow in the alpine region

The warning means, among other things, that movement and orientation can be very difficult and there is a high risk of frostbite. The highest wind forces are expected from Monday afternoon to Tuesday evening. Most precipitation is expected in the western/northwestern parts.

How can this affect me?

• No hiking is recommended in mountainous areas.
• Rescue efforts in mountain environment can be risky and may take a long time.
• Very difficult to move and set up or anchor tents.
• Very difficult to orientate due to severely reduced visibility.
• High risk of frostbite.
