Southern and western borders of Aran, The wind slabs are mostly small and in some cases prone to triggering. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep north and east facing slopes at high altitude and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.
Avalanches can in isolated cases be released in the old snowpack especially in places that are protected from the wind. They are medium-sized.
As the moisture increases individual moist snow slides are possible.
