This live camera looks out over Braunwald, a car-free village perched on a sunny terrace of the Glarus Alps at about 1,300 metres. It is a quick way to see whether the mountain is clear, cloudy or wrapped in mist before you plan a walk or a ride up the hill. The view is streamed directly from the source, so it updates as conditions change.
A village above the Linth valley
Braunwald sits on a wide shelf high above the Linth valley in the canton of Glarus, in eastern Switzerland. Because cars are not allowed in the village, the streets stay quiet and the pace is slow, with wooden chalets, meadows and views across to the surrounding peaks. The village is best known as a base for hiking and as a gentle, family-friendly alpine retreat, and it has a long tradition of summer and winter visitors.
What to watch and when
The camera is most rewarding in the morning, when the sun reaches the village early and the light often picks out the ridges and the valley below. Clear afternoons are good for judging visibility, while cloud banks rolling up from the valley can show how the weather is changing. In winter the snow on the slopes and the movement of skiers make the picture especially lively, and the view can change quickly with fog or sudden clearing.
Planning a visit
Braunwald is reached by a funicular from Linthal in the valley, which makes it easy to arrive without a car. The climate is alpine, with cool summers and snowy winters, so pack layers year-round. Nearby cameras cover the Märchenhotel, the Z_Grotzenbüel, Gumen and the Seblengrat ridge, which together give a good idea of conditions across the local area.
