Clear sky in Val Gardena → do Seceda that day
Partial cloud in Val Gardena → do Alpe di Siusi, save Seceda for clearer day
Bad weather on drive day (Sep 21) → skip Lagazuoi, go straight to Cortina, no regret
Cloudy sunset at Tre Cime → set alarm for 6am, sunrise often clears
Morning fog at Seceda → wait, lifts run all day, fog usually burns off by 10am
Tre Cime (Sep 22) + Croda da Lago (Sep 23) are non-negotiable — rifugios are booked and non-refundable, go regardless of weather
Sunrise beats sunset at Tre Cime — if Sep 22 evening is cloudy, Sep 23 at 6am is your best shot at clear skies
Use Bergfex or MeteoBlue — not Apple Weather or Google. Mountain weather is hyper-local and changes by the hour. Standard apps are useless above 2,000m. Bergfex gives hourly summit forecasts. Aim to be back at the rifugio or car by early afternoon before any weather shift.
