Wasserfallboden — high-altitude reservoir lakes of Kaprun, view east

Wasserfallboden - Lacs de barrage d'altitude de Kaprun - vue vers l'est

🇦🇹 Salzburg · Austria — Altitude 2434 m

Local time UTC+1Checked 0 viewsHDMountains

This live camera looks across the high-altitude reservoir lakes at Wasserfallboden, above the Kaprun valley in the Austrian state of Salzburg. It is useful for checking mountain conditions, cloud cover and snow before planning a trip into the Hohe Tauern.

A high alpine basin

Wasserfallboden sits at about 2,434 metres in the Hohe Tauern range, where a chain of dammed lakes collects meltwater for the hydroelectric power plants of the Kaprun valley. The surroundings are open alpine terrain with rock, grass and glacier-fed streams, and the reservoirs give the landscape a striking turquoise look on clear days. Access is limited to the warm months, when the high road and cable systems operate.

What to watch on the camera

The view faces east, so the morning light falls across the water and the slopes, which is often when the mountains are clearest. Cloud build-up over the peaks is common in afternoons during summer, so checking early can be worthwhile. In winter and early spring the basin is usually covered in snow, and the view is mainly a way to judge whether the access road is open.

Practical notes for visiting

Late June to September is the most reliable period for visiting, with mild days and mostly snow-free paths, though nights stay cold at this height. Thunderstorms can form quickly in summer, so bring warm and waterproof clothing. Nearby cameras cover the Kaprun summit, the Sonnenkar area and the Alpincenter, which help you compare conditions across the valley.
