Reaching into the Slidre valley of upper Valdres, Vestre Slidre opens the pollen season with hazel from January before birch peaks through April and May. Grass from surrounding mountain farmland peaks through June and July before mugwort extends exposure into September. The Slidre valley concentrates pollen under calm conditions, while the elevated inland Valdres climate means the season begins slightly later than in lowland Innlandet municipalities throughout.
