This live camera sits high in the Austrian Alps at Hochkar, at around 1,730 metres, and looks south-east across the valley toward Wildalpen and the limestone massif of the Hochschwab. It is useful for judging the mountain sky and cloud before planning a walk or a ride up the lift. The page also shows local time and a three-day forecast for the area.
A limestone landscape in Styria
Hochkar lies in the Ybbstal Alps of Lower Austria and Styria, a region of steep forested slopes, deep valleys and high karst plateaus. The Hochschwab, toward which this view is directed, is one of the best-known limestone mountain groups in the eastern Alps, shaped by water running through rock over a very long time. Wildalpen sits in the valley below and is a small village known for its mountain setting and its long tradition of alpine life.
What to watch and when
Depending on the view, you may see ridges, forest, meadows and the valley floor, with cloud building over the peaks through the day. Mornings are often calm and clear, while afternoons in summer can bring convective cloud and showers. Clear, cold winter days tend to give the sharpest views of the snow-covered massif, and the changing light at sunrise and sunset is worth watching on a fine day.
Practical notes and nearby cameras
Summers are mild and winters are cold and snowy at this altitude, so conditions can differ sharply from the valley. Check the live weather on this page before setting out, and bring layers even on warm days. Other cameras nearby include the Göstling Hochkar mountain station, the Hochkar valley view, and the Wildalpen view to the south, which help you compare conditions across the area.
