This map classifies avalanche terrain thematically into "release areas" and "runout zones". Red indicates potential avalanche release areas with an incline of between 30 and 50 degrees. The darker the red colour, the more likely an avalanche is to occur. Inclination and curvature of the terrain are taken into account. The potential runout zones are coloured with three shades of blue and yellow. The darker the blue, the more likely avalanches can be triggered remotely in the event of a very unfavourable snowpack (typical with old snow problems). The yellow colour shows the possible runout of a large (size 3) dry slab avalanche with an average crown depth of 50 centimetres.
Classified avalanche terrain map (CAT)
This map classifies the avalanche terrain into potential avalanche release areas and runout zones.
The classified avalanche terrain map (CAT) categorises the avalanche terrain thematically into potential avalanche release areas (red areas) and possible runout zones (blue to yellow) for avalanches up to size 3 (large avalanches). Blue indicates areas where remote triggering is possible.
