How to read: Each row shows when a condition blocks opportunities. Stronger red means more locations are affected. These are the top 1 conditions preventing matches across the 73-hour forecast.

Moist air trapped beneath Alpine inversions can fill valleys while high peaks remain clear. Lauterbrunnen's enclosed trough can layer its cliffs and waterfalls, Grindelwald may look across cloud toward the Eiger, and higher ground above Interlaken can overlook mist on Lakes Thun and Brienz. Autumn and stable winter high pressure favor persistent inversions, though valley fog may simply become an opaque ceiling at ground level.

The forecast combines humidity, wind, and low-cloud indicators but cannot identify the exact cloud top in every side valley. A lift or railway can move you above fog only when it is operating and the upper station is genuinely clear. Check webcams at several elevations, avoid driving in poor visibility, and keep both a valley subject and an elevated alternative.

How this forecast is made

Opportunities are threshold-based signals: PhotoWeather checks whether forecast conditions match the rules for a photography scenario. They are planning guidance, not guarantees. Forecasts can change as new model runs arrive, and confidence generally decreases farther into the forecast horizon, so recheck conditions before travelling.

The weather forecast foundation comes through Open-Meteo , which aggregates models from weather agencies. PhotoWeather applies condition-specific thresholds and derived calculations; not every condition uses every model or data input.
