This live camera looks out over La Chaux-de-Fonds, a town high in the Swiss Jura mountains. It is a practical way to check how the town looks right now, whether skies are clear or cloud is sitting on the hills. The page also shows the local time and the weather forecast for the coming days.
A watchmaking town on the plateau
La Chaux-de-Fonds sits on a high plateau in the canton of Neuchâtel, at roughly 1000 metres above sea level. It is best known as a centre of the Swiss watch industry and as the birthplace of the architect Le Corbusier, whose work is part of the town's identity. The surrounding landscape is open pasture and forest, typical of the Jura, and the town has a grid layout that was planned after a major fire in the nineteenth century.
What to watch and when
The view shows the town and its surroundings, so the most useful times to check are early morning, when valley fog may lie below the plateau, and late afternoon, when low sun lights the rooftops. Winter brings snow and clear frosty days, while summer is green and calm. Conditions depend on the view and on the weather, so the live player is the best guide to what is visible at any moment.
Climate and getting there
The town has a cool, often windy climate, with cold winters and mild summers. Snow can lie for weeks from December to March, and many visitors come for winter sports or hiking in the nearby Jura. The town is reachable by train and road from Neuchâtel. Nearby live cameras on this site include Tête de Ran, Le Locle and Les Brenets, which together give a good picture of the region.
