This camera looks out over Vallorbe, a small town in the Vaud Jura close to the French border. It is a simple way to see how the town and surrounding hills look right now, without travelling there. The page also shows the local time and weather so you can judge conditions before you plan a visit.
About Vallorbe
Vallorbe sits at about 760 metres in the Jura mountains of canton Vaud, in a valley shaped by the Orbe river. It is best known as a railway junction on the line between Lausanne and France, and as the gateway to the Vallée de Joux and the wider Jura lakes. The town has a working, unpretentious character, with forested slopes rising steeply around it and open pastures higher up.
What the camera shows
The camera is listed as a city view, so it is aimed at the town and its surroundings rather than a single landmark. Depending on the angle, you may see rooftops, the valley floor and the hills beyond. Views like this are often most readable in clear daylight, when shadows show the terrain, and in winter, when snow changes the contrast of the slopes. Mist that settles in the valley can hide much of the scene.
Practical notes
Winters in Vallorbe are cold and snowy, while summers are mild and usually the most comfortable time to hike in the nearby forests. Because the town is at altitude, temperatures can differ noticeably from those in lower Swiss cities. Nearby cameras on this site cover the Vallée de Joux, Lac de Joux and Lac Saint Point, which are useful for comparing conditions across the region.
