Local time UTC+1Checked 0 viewsHDMountains
This camera looks out over Gelmersee, a high mountain reservoir reached from the Bernese Oberland village of Guttannen. It is a good way to check how the lake and surrounding peaks look before planning a hike or a drive up the valley. The live player is paired with local weather and time so you can judge conditions at a glance.
A reservoir in the high Alps
Guttannen sits in the Haslital, a valley that runs toward the Grimsel Pass in the canton of Bern. Gelmersee lies at around 1850 metres, a dammed lake surrounded by rock, alpine grass and steep slopes. It is known as the start point of the funicular railway that climbs from the lake, and as a gateway to the wider Grimsel and Oberaar region. The setting is stark and quiet, shaped by water and glacier-cut terrain.
What to watch and when
The view mainly shows the lake and the mountains framing it, so changes come from light, cloud and water level rather than from people or traffic. Mornings often bring calm water and clear reflections when the air is still. Afternoons can build cloud over the ridges, and snow may linger on the high slopes well into early summer. Check the live picture before setting out, since weather at this altitude can change quickly.
Practical notes and nearby views
Summer is the usual season for visiting, with the access roads and the funicular generally open from late spring to autumn, though exact dates vary each year. Winter brings heavy snow and many routes close. Nearby cameras show the Grimsel Hospiz at about 5 km, the Oberaar area at about 8 km, and the Trift cable car near Innertkirchen at about 10 km. Together they give a fuller picture of the valley's conditions.
