Environmental Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Arosa

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Arosa. The high altitude (around 1,775 meters) and cooler temperatures generally limit mosquito breeding compared to lower regions. However, the presence of water bodies like the Arosa Lake and surrounding wetlands provide ideal breeding grounds during warmer months. Additionally, the snowmelt in spring increases standing water, leading to a rise in mosquito numbers. Key influences include:

Temperature and humidity levels
Availability of stagnant water
Seasonal changes in vegetation

Understanding these can help you anticipate mosquito activity during your outdoor excursions. For more on how climate affects mosquitoes, visit MeteoSwiss.
