This live camera looks out over Bretaye, a mountain plateau above Villars-sur-Ollon in the canton of Vaud. It is a useful window onto Alpine conditions before you travel, showing the mood of the peaks, cloud and snow from a height of about 1800 metres.
About the setting
Villars-sur-Ollon is a resort village in the Vaud Alps, reached by road and by the rack railway from Aigle. Bretaye sits high above it on an open plateau, with views toward the surrounding limestone peaks of the Diablerets and Chablais ranges. The area is known for winter skiing and summer walking, and its landscape changes sharply with the seasons.
What to watch and when
Depending on the view, you may see snow cover, mountain pastures, passing cloud or the shadows of the ridges as the sun moves. Mornings often bring the clearest air, while afternoon cloud can build quickly over the peaks in summer. Winter brings the most dramatic contrast, with fresh snow and bright sky on settled days.
Practical planning
The climate is cool and changeable at this altitude, even in summer, so check the live weather before setting out. Late June to September suits hiking, while December to March is best for snow. Nearby cameras cover Chaux Ronde, Grand Chamossaire, Petit Chamossaire and Aiglon College, which help you compare conditions across the valley.
