Lech Valley

Overall impression
Snow condition
This year there is little snow in the Lechtal - but there is already more. Descent into the valley still possible in places. South side already completely snow-free in places. North side ok
Snow quality
Spring conditions - hard frozen in the morning - in a short time window (depending on altitude and exposure) the snow cover turns into beautiful firn. On the north side above 2100 m altitude without wind influence set powder - with wind = slab powder
Risks
Very relaxed - but be careful on steep shaded slopes, weak layers are critical. We also had to shorten one slope - slight cracks visible under additional load
Overall impression
Much better than expected for this tour - the descent from the summit is passable throughout. But the high temperatures are gnawing away at the snow cover. Great weather - pleasant temperatures and super descents. So another 3 stars
