Lots of fresh snow and high danger level
From Monday morning to Tuesday morning, 30 to 60 cm of new snow can be expected on mountains over 800 meters high, locally. “There are strong shipments due to strong winds, and therefore the risk of avalanches increases,” Metionnews wrote.
According to the risk map, with a few exceptions, all parts of Switzerland are affected by the storm. The risk level is 3 out of 5. Only along Lake Geneva, in parts of Valais and in Ticino there is a risk level of 2 or less. (SDA/kes)
