Dans une grande partie des Alpes suisses, le degré de danger d'avalanches fut au maximum durant une longue période et des centaines d'avalanches de grande ampleur se sont déclenchées spontanément. Cette situation extraordinaire a été causée par la succession rapprochée, entre le 26 janvier et le 25 février, de trois fronts de précipitations intenses de nord-ouest. [...] L'activité avalancheuse s'est accrue durant les trois périodes de précipitations [...] Malheureusement, cette période avalancheuse a également provoqué des pertes en vies humaines. 4, record 1, French, - cycle%20d%27avalanches
