This live camera looks out over Braunwald, a car-free village in the Glarus Alps of eastern Switzerland at about 1,915 metres. Watch it to check mountain conditions, cloud and snow before planning a walk or a ride up from Linthal.
A village above the Linth valley
Braunwald sits on a sunny terrace high above the Linth valley in the canton of Glarus. It is known for its traditional wooden chalets, its quiet streets and the absence of motor traffic, which is why visitors arrive by funicular from Linthal or on foot. The surrounding meadows and cliffs of the Glarus Alps change character quickly with the weather, and the village is often above the cloud layer when the valley is grey.
What to watch and when
The view is most rewarding in clear morning light, when the peaks are sharp, and at sunset, when the slopes take on warm colours. In winter, watch for snow cover and whether the pistes are being groomed; in summer, watch for cloud moving over the ridges. Conditions can change within an hour, so checking the live frame just before setting out is more useful than relying on a forecast alone.
Planning a visit
Summer brings hiking and mountain air, while winter is popular for skiing and snowshoeing. Expect cool temperatures at this altitude even in summer, and bring layers. Nearby cameras on VizCams include Seblengrat and Z_Grotzenbüel, both about a kilometre away, along with the Hôtel Cristal and Märchenhotel views, which help you compare conditions across the village.
