The webcams are automatically updated every 10 to 30 minutes. This gives you an almost real-time impression of the region. Each recording is provided with a time stamp showing the exact time of recording. Around time changes, the displayed time may occasionally differ.

Yes, thanks to the different altitudes - from the valley in Brig to the Hübschhorn - you can easily compare weather conditions, cloud cover and visibility. In winter, the images help you to assess the snow and slope conditions.

Brig is located in the Rhone Valley, where it is often mild and sunny. The higher-lying areas of Rosswald and Rothwald react much more sensitively to changes in the weather at altitude. The Simplon Pass acts as an important weather divide, as it represents the climatic border between the northern Valais and the Italian south side. This contrast arises because the Alpine massif acts as a barrier for air masses. Wind currents such as the north and south foehn often intensify these differences massively, leading to completely contrasting weather conditions in a confined space.

The webcams are located at different altitudes - from around 680 meters in Brig via Rosswald and Rothwald to over 2,000 meters on the Simplon Pass. The highest camera is located on the Hübschhorn at 3,192 meters above sea level and provides impressive live images from the high mountains.

The camera on the Hübschhorn (3,192 m above sea level) delivers impressive pictures from the high mountains. How well do you know the mountains? Here you can find the answers on the panorama.

Yes, the cameras at higher altitudes such as on the Rosswald, Rothwald and Hübschhorn offer impressive light moods in the early morning and evening. You can also navigate back in time on the 360° cameras and view the most impressive shots again.

Northern Lights are not particularly common. You find pictures of past Northern Lights on the 360° cameras under the heading "Best shots".
