This live camera looks out over the Wolfgangsee, one of the best-known lakes of the Salzkammergut in Upper Austria and Salzburg. The town of St. Gilgen sits at its western shore, and the stream lets you judge the lake mood and mountain weather before you plan a trip. The page also shows the local time and a forecast.
The town and its lake
St. Gilgen lies on the western shore of the Wolfgangsee, at about 730 metres above sea level, in the Salzkammergut region south-east of Salzburg. The lake is framed by forested slopes and limestone peaks of the Alps, and the town is long associated with the Mozart family, whose mother was born here. The surroundings are known for lake swimming, sailing and walking paths along the water.
What to watch and when
The view is most rewarding in the morning, when the water is often calm and mist may lift from the lake. Clear afternoons bring out the mountain outlines, while in late afternoon the light tends to warm the slopes. Summer shows the lake at its busiest with boats, and autumn colours can be striking. Depending on the view, you may notice changing cloud cover that quickly alters the scene.
Climate and getting around
The Salzkammergut has a changeable Alpine climate. Summers are mild and the most popular season for visiting the lakes, while winters are cold with snow in the surrounding hills. Spring and early autumn can be quieter and cooler. Nearby cameras on the Zwölferhorn, at Fuschl am See and at the Schafbergalm give you more angles on the same region.
