Pontresina pollen forecast — Muottas Muragl neighborhood

On 16 July 2026, overall pollen levels in Pontresina are moderate. Grass is the main contributor to airborne pollen, while willow, cypress, and hazel remain at lower levels

On 17 July 2026, pollen conditions in Pontresina will be similar to today, with grass at medium levels, willow at medium levels, hazel at low levels, cypress at medium levels

According to the five-day outlook, grass, willow, hazel, and cypress pollen levels are expected to gradually decrease, suggesting improving conditions later in the week.

On 16 July 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in Pontresina. willow, cypress, and hazel are also present but at lower levels. alder, artemisia, and birch are not currently active.

Early January brings hazel and alder to Muottas Muragl, birch follows with a peak through April and May, spruce and larch extend the tree season, and grass then peaks through June and July. The valley's steep walls shape local airflow here, occasionally trapping pollen, while forested lower slopes and Alpine meadows contribute through the brief growing season. Altitude here pushes the season later than in the lowland cities of the Mittelland.

The Pontresina 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 Pontresina, 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.
