This live camera looks toward the Märchenhotel in Braunwald, a car-free mountain village above the Linth valley in the canton of Glarus. Watch it to judge the mood of the high Alps before you travel or to see what conditions look like right now.
A car-free village on the slopes
Braunwald sits on a sunny terrace at about 1,320 metres in the canton of Glarus, in eastern Switzerland. Cars are not allowed in the village, so people arrive by funicular from Linthal and get around on foot or by electric vehicle. The surrounding meadows, pine woods and steep rock faces give it the quiet character of a traditional Alpine resort that has changed little in its layout over the decades.
What the view can show over the day
The camera is most useful in the morning, when light tends to be clearest over the valley, and in the late afternoon, when the slopes take on warmer tones. Cloud often gathers on the ridges, so the view can change quickly within an hour. Winter brings snow to the village and the pistes, while summer shows green pastures and hikers on the trails. The exact scene depends on the view from the hotel, so check the live picture for current conditions.
Practical notes and nearby views
Summers are mild and winters are cold and snowy, so late June to September suits walking, and December to March suits skiing. Several other cameras in the area show the village from different angles, including Hôtel Cristal, Z_Grotzenbüel, Gumen and Seblengrat, which are all within a few kilometres. Use the local weather block on this page to check the three-day forecast before you set off.
Watching from afar
A live feed is a good way to plan a day in the mountains, since high-altitude weather shifts fast. Pair this picture with the forecast and the local time shown on the page to decide when to walk or ski.
