Brülisau - Hoher Kasten - Rheintal
🇨🇭 Appenzell Ausserrhoden · Switzerland
This live camera looks out from the Hoher Kasten area above Brülisau, a village in the Appenzell Ausserrhoden Alps of eastern Switzerland. It is a good place to check whether the high ridges are clear before planning a walk or a cable car ride. The page also shows the local time and the weather forecast for the surrounding area.
Brülisau sits in the northern Alpine foothills of canton Appenzell Ausserrhoden, a region of green pastures, forested slopes and scattered farmhouses. The Hoher Kasten is one of the best-known viewpoints in the area and is reached by cable car from Brülisau. The landscape is shaped by farming and gentle mountains rather than sharp glaciated peaks, which gives it a quiet, rural character.
Because the title names the Hoher Kasten and the Rhine Valley, the view is likely to take in mountain ridges and the valley stretching toward the Rhine. Conditions change quickly in the Alps, so the view is often most interesting in the morning, when cloud is lifting from the valleys, or in the late afternoon light. Cloud cover and haze will affect how far you can see on any given day.
The Appenzell Alps have mild summers and cold, snowy winters, and many visitors come between late spring and early autumn for hiking. Brülisau is a short drive from Weissbad, and the nearby Ebenalp cable car and other cameras on this site show different parts of the area. Check the live weather on this page before setting out, since mountain conditions can change within an hour.
