This camera looks out from the north launch site on the Gaisberg, a mountain rising just north-east of Salzburg. It is a place where paragliders and hang gliders prepare to take off, so the stream is useful for anyone checking whether the sky is open today.
A mountain above the city
The Gaisberg stands at roughly 1,100 metres above sea level and overlooks the city of Salzburg, the Alpine foothills and the wider Salzach valley. It is a popular local outing for walkers and cyclists, and the summit area is known as a place to see the city spread out below. Its open slopes and frequent thermals have made it a well-known flying site for pilots from across the region.
What to watch on the stream
Because the camera is aimed at a launch area, the most interesting moments tend to come on clear mornings and late afternoons, when flying conditions are often best. Depending on the view, you may see the take-off slope, the sky above it and the distant ridges. Changes in cloud cover and wind are the things worth watching, and they can shift quickly on mountain terrain.
Climate and getting there
Salzburg has a continental climate with warm summers and cold, snowy winters, and mountain weather can differ noticeably from the city below. Late spring through early autumn is generally the most reliable season for flying and hiking. The Gaisberg is reached by road and a mountain road with a bus in the warmer months; nearby cameras include Salzburg Gaisberg, the Festungsbahn and Schloss Mirabell.
