WEATHER DATA FOR YOUR PLANNING AND SAFETY

Our service is used successfully all over the world, from canoeists along the Greenland coast, to expeditions in the Patagonian inland ice, to climbs of “classics” and lesser known peaks in the Himalayas, Karakoram and Tienshan mountains. However, it is by no means only aimed at extreme expeditions, but is also ideal for trekking providers, mountain guides and even private individuals who want to play it safe.

Because the weather factor can turn even the best tour planning on its head. Trust MetGIS weather data for expeditions and our expertise to minimize the weather risk to the success of your adventure.

MetGIS forecasts are precise and accurate.
This is how weather forecasts should be!

Why international expedition teams rely on MetGIS

Specially developed for mountain weather forecasts

The MetGIS forecasting system is based on extremely accurate terrain data and is therefore particularly suitable for mountainous regions. This is why customers around the world rely on us: from the royal wedding in Bhutan to numerous Himalayan expeditions and mountain sports portals in the Alps.

Meteorologists with experience under extreme conditions

Our meteorologists specialize in mountain weather. They have many years of experience, including in mountaineering under extreme conditions. They know the challenges and dangers of alpine terrain and can provide you with particularly valuable, practical assistance.

Ultra-precise forecasts, with up to 30 m resolution

Large-scale forecasts often only help you to a limited extent on your expedition. The forecast cannot be precise enough for planning the next stages or for critical decisions. That’s why ultra-precise MetGIS weather forecasts offer a resolution of up to 30 meters.

MetGIS weather services for expeditions – FAQ

Our packages are based on the requirements and experience of numerous international expeditions. Should you wish to extend the services included or the time period, we will be happy to meet your needs at an additional charge.

We want to give you the best possible service and therefore reserve time for personal consultations.
We therefore recommend booking several weeks in advance. If this is not possible, we will do our best to find a suitable solution for you, even at very short notice.

We prefer to offer consultations between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. CET. Other time slots are possible by arrangement. To ensure the best possible quality of advice, we recommend arranging an appointment 24 hours in advance.

Internet connections are rare or cost-intensive in remote regions. All our online services are therefore optimized for this purpose. Please understand that we cannot accept responsibility for any kind of technical failure.

In our experience, personal advice is often offered, booked (and paid for!) on a daily basis for the entire duration of the expedition, but is then only partially utilized. This is why we give priority to personal advice in important and critical phases of the expedition. We are happy to pass this cost advantage on to you.

We offer discounts when booking weather services for several expeditions per year. Travel agencies also have the option of all-inclusive annual packages. Please contact us in this regard.

MetGIS weather services have already proven themselves many times internationally: On expeditions from the Himalayas to Greenland to Patagonia.
