There is a high risk of avalanche (grade 4 on a scale from 1 to 5), at 1,800 meters altitude in the Făgăraş Mountains, in the Bâlea Lake tourist area, where the highest snow cover is now above 170 centimeters.
Surface has an unstable 30-40 centimeter layer of recently fallen snow.
In addition to that, there are many slopes where massive avalanches may occur, by engaging snow layers underneath.
It is also very cold at Bâlea Lake - minus 14 degrees Celsius.
