Weather
Along the Greina Alta route, hikers travel in the area of the main Alpine ridge. Thanks to the sheltered inner-alpine location, it often happens that it is already raining in the lowlands while clouds are breaking up over the Greina, revealing blue skies. In addition, the proximity to the south often brings more favorable weather conditions.
The route crosses a region with a very interesting and changeable microclimate. It is therefore recommended to consult weather forecasts from several locations along the route.
- For Curaglia, Meteoblue usually provides very reliable data
- Conditions for the ascent to the Medelserhütte can be well assessed by comparing the forecasts for Piz Medel and Curaglia
