This camera looks out from the Berghotel on the Alp Sellamatt, above Alt St. Johann in the Toggenburg valley of eastern Switzerland. It is a useful window onto alpine conditions, showing how cloud, snow and light move over the ridges. The live player is paired with local weather and time so you can judge the conditions before you go.
A pasture village in the Toggenburg
Alt St. Johann sits in the upper Toggenburg, a wide green valley in the Canton of St. Gallen, framed by the limestone peaks of the Churfirsten and the Alpstein range. Its character is rural: dairy farms, wooden chalets and high alpine pastures that are grazed in summer. The Sellamatt rises above the village at about 1,386 metres, where the valley opens into meadows and forest edges.
What the view shows and when to watch
Because the camera is set on a mountain hotel, the view is mostly about sky, slopes and weather. Expect shifting cloud over the ridges, changing colours in the grass through the seasons, and snow cover in winter. Early morning and late afternoon bring the strongest light on the peaks, and clear days after a front tend to be the most rewarding. Conditions can change quickly, so check the live view before planning a walk.
Practical notes for visiting
The Toggenburg has a cool alpine climate, with summers that are mild and often wet and winters that bring reliable snow. Late June to September suits hiking, while December to March is popular for winter sports. Nearby cameras include Zinggen above Alt St. Johann, Iltios near Unterwasser and Gamsalp and Chaeserrugg around Wildhaus, which help you compare conditions across the valley.
