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

Corviglia's pollen exposure is limited to a short high-altitude window, generally June through August, dominated almost entirely by larch and alpine meadow grasses lower down the slopes. The lowland tree pollen calendar barely applies here, since vegetation cover thins out quickly with altitude, leaving only sparse pollen sources near the summit.

The St. Moritz 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 St. Moritz, 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.
