This live camera looks toward Gavarnie, a mountain village at about 1,380 metres in the French Pyrenees. The image refreshes regularly, so you can check how the peaks and sky look before planning a walk or a drive into the high valleys.
A village below the high cirque
Gavarnie sits in the Gavarnie valley of the Hautes-Pyrénées, in the Occitania region of southern France. It is best known for the great cirque of Gavarnie, a natural amphitheatre of sheer rock walls and the Grande Cascade, one of the highest waterfalls in Europe. The village is small and handles a steady flow of walkers, so the landscape and the quiet of the surroundings define its character more than any town centre.
What the view tends to show
Because the camera is set in a mountain setting, the scene changes mostly with weather, cloud and light rather than with traffic or crowds. Mornings often bring clear rock faces, while afternoon cloud can build over the peaks in summer. Snow cover changes the view sharply from autumn to spring. Depending on the framing, you may see slopes, the sky over the valley and the seasonal shift from green pasture to white.
Planning a visit
Summer and early autumn are the usual months for hiking to the cirque, when the paths are open and the air is generally settled. Winter brings snow and skiing nearby, though access can be limited by weather. Nearby cameras in the Pyrenees, such as Le Tourmalet and Saint-Lary-Soulan, help you compare conditions across the range before you set out.
