Understanding avalanche risk

Avalanche risk is shown using colored flags and five pictograms, each representing a level of danger: low, moderate, considerable, high, and very high.

Before going off-piste, it is essential to check this risk level.

Keep in mind that some areas may still be more dangerous than others—conditions vary depending on slope orientation and steepness. That’s why it’s always best to ask the Ski Patrol for the most up-to-date snowpack information.
