Abstract

Snow avalanches represent an undeniable reality in the Southern Carpathians both as a geomorphologic process and as a type of natural risk with the highest number of fatalities and injuries and also substantial impact upon forests, highways and people. This study focuses on the Făgăraş massif and Bucegi Mountains, representative mountain units in the eastern part of Southern Carpathians with altitudes surpassing 2,500 m, large quantities of snowfall, between 6 and 8 months/year of snow depth and high occurrence of snow avalanches. The importance of management of snow avalanche risk resides in the fact that these mountains represent an attractive tourist area and have a high winter sports potential.
