This camera looks out from Chaux Ronde, a mountain station above the resort of Villars-sur-Ollon in the Swiss Alps. It is a useful way to judge snow, cloud and visibility on the slopes before deciding whether to travel up. The live player is embedded from the source, with local time and a weather forecast shown alongside.
About Villars and the Alpine setting
Villars-sur-Ollon sits at roughly 1,980 metres in the canton of Vaud, in the Ollon valley of the western Bernese Oberland foothills. It is one of the best-known ski and summer resorts in French-speaking Switzerland, reached by road and by a rack railway from Bex. The surrounding peaks, pastures and forests give the area a classic Alpine character that changes sharply with the seasons, from winter snowfields to green summer meadows and autumn colours.
What to watch and when
Depending on the view, the camera may show ski runs, the ridges above the valley, cloud moving through the peaks or fresh snow after a storm. Clear mornings are often the most rewarding, when the light falls across the mountains and the valley is still visible. In winter the slopes are busiest during the day, while in summer you may see hikers and paragliders on fine afternoons. Conditions can change within an hour, so checking the live picture is more reliable than any forecast alone.
Climate, access and nearby cameras
Winter is the main season, with reliable snow from December into March, while June to September offers mild days for walking. Afternoon storms are common in summer, so early starts are sensible for hikes. The resort is accessible by train and road from the Rhône valley. Other cameras nearby include Bretaye, Petit Chamossaire, Grand Chamossaire and Les Chaux in Gryon, which together show a wider picture of the mountains.
