In the crest area of the Fagaras Massif, there is a significant layer of snow, with mountain rescue teams warning tourists of the risk of serious accidents, said Agerpres.
"Attention and caution, in the Fagaras ridge, there is a significant, soft layer of snow that makes movement very difficult. When crossing slopes or small valleys, small to medium-sized snow slides can occur, enough to unbalance a person and carry them downhill, hitting rocks or throwing them over a ledge," the Arges Public Mountain Rescue Service warned on Friday.
The quoted source mentioned that over the past two days, a fresh layer of snow has fallen on top of the existing one, which in some areas had a surface ice crust. Thus, this fresh layer can slide, especially under additional weight.
Moreover, small to medium-sized snow slides and avalanches are expected, with the risk increasing in overloaded areas.
In certain valleys, snowdrifts and accumulations exceed 60-80 centimeters in some spots, while at altitudes below 1,800 meters, the snow layer is thin and stable.
