In this respect, triggered by winds and as a result of avalanches, snow may<br />

accumulate in large quantities in the glacial valleys of the alpine zones. In the hilly<br />

areas and in the plains snow driven by winds accumulates in hollows and concave<br />

surface <strong>for</strong>mations (in shower-stream valleys, loess dips and old <strong>for</strong>mations hollowed<br />

by erosion). It is these concave surface <strong>for</strong>mations where the most prominent failure of<br />

flowage during the melting of snow and the most intense flowage during rainfalls can<br />

be observed.<br />
