Vejret på Petit Darray

Between Wednesday and Saturday, snowfall accompanied by moderate to strong winds was widespread at high altitudes, with the largest amounts falling in the Bernese and Valais Alps and in the Bernina region. Around half a metre of snow fell above 2800 m in these regions. In high alpine regions along the main Alpine ridge from the Monte Rosa region to the Bernina region, the fresh snow was deposited on a thin but already continuous snow cover. Faceted weak layers are present near the ground in these regions. Elsewhere, weak layers are to be expected mainly within the various layers of fresh snow and wind-drifted snow.
As the snowfall level rises to around 2600 m during the night to Sunday, the snowpack will become moist or wet over widespread areas, including at high altitudes.
