Elevation compresses Grindelwald-Wengen Ski Area (Lauberhorn)'s pollen season into a brief window, roughly June through August, when larch and alpine meadow grasses become the main sources at lower elevations. Vegetation and pollen output both fall away sharply with elevation here, and above the treeline there's little left beyond bare rock, scree, and ice.

The Interlaken pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Interlaken, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
