What you are looking at
MeteoSwiss runs this weather camera at Evolène, in the Val d'Hérens in the canton of Valais, at about 1,828 meters. The camera looks across the steep valley sides to a chain of high peaks, with the deep valley floor below and forests and pastures on the slopes. Evolène is known for its traditional wooden houses and as a gateway to the high mountains at the head of the valley.
Valais is one of the driest and sunniest parts of Switzerland, sheltered by high mountains on both sides, but this camera shows how quickly mountain weather can change. You may see clouds pouring over the ridges, snow showers on the peaks in autumn and spring, and clear blue days when every summit stands out. Winter brings deep snow at this altitude, and summer afternoons can build towering clouds over the mountains. MeteoSwiss keeps the camera to watch weather in the high Alps along flight routes.
The camera saves a panoramic still image every ten minutes, and at twilight it switches to an infrared filter for black-and-white images in low light. A practical tip: the time stamp is in UTC, so add one hour in winter and two in summer to get Swiss local time.
