This live camera looks out over Biel, a bilingual town on the northern shore of Lake Biel in the canton of Bern. Watch the stream to get a sense of the lake, the old town and the weather before you travel or simply to keep an eye on the Jura foothills.
About Biel and its setting
Biel sits at the foot of the Jura mountains, where the lake of the same name meets the Aare river and the land rises toward the hills. The town is known for its watchmaking heritage, its German and French speaking population, and its access to the Three Lakes region. Its atmosphere mixes a compact historic centre with a lively waterfront and a fast-growing modern district.
What to watch and when
Depending on the view, you may see the lake surface, passing boats, the shoreline and the hills behind the town. Clear mornings and late afternoons tend to show the mountains most sharply, while the lake can take on a calm mirror look on still days. Weather changes, especially fog rolling over the water in autumn, can alter the scene quickly, so check back at different times of day.
Climate and getting around
Biel has a temperate Swiss climate with warm summers, cold winters and fairly regular rainfall spread across the year. Late spring and early autumn are often the most comfortable months for walking along the lake. The town is easy to reach by train from Bern and Zurich, and the nearby cameras on this page cover Fribourg, Villars-sur-Glâne and other places in the region.
