Avalanche map layer – Steepness

5. November 2024

To help you identify avalanche terrain we provide you with steepness map layer, or avalanche map layer. These map layers are colour layers on the map, where the colour represents the steepness of the terrain. Avalanches are most commonly released in 30 degrees and steeper terrain. With the steepness map layer activated, you may clearly see where avlanches may be released. – remember avlanches may be released remotely or by others, so take into account the distance for the runout of an avalanche when assessing the terrain.
