What you are looking at
MeteoSwiss runs this high mountain weather camera at Gütsch, above Andermatt in the canton of Uri, at about 2,298 meters. The panorama looks across a rocky alpine slope to the Urseren valley and the peaks around it. You may spot the lifts of the Andermatt ski area, including a gondola line, and wind turbines on the ridge near the station.
Gütsch sits close to the Gotthard and Oberalp passes, a crossroads of Alpine routes, and this camera helps MeteoSwiss forecasters see conditions along flight paths over the Alps. The weather here can be wild: low cloud racing over the ridges, heavy snowfall and strong winds are common, and visibility can drop to almost nothing within minutes. In winter the slopes are deep in snow and busy with skiers; in summer the camera shows brown and green tundra, rocks and hikers' paths. On foehn days the clouds may sit thick on one side of the passes while the other side stays clear.
A new panoramic still image is saved every ten minutes, and at twilight the camera switches to infrared for black-and-white images. The time stamp is in UTC, so add one or two hours for Swiss local time.
