This camera looks out from the Gamserrugg cable car station above Wildhaus in eastern Switzerland, toward the Säntis and the Schafberg. It is useful for judging whether the peaks are clear before a hike or a ride up the mountain.
A village in the Toggenburg
Wildhaus sits in the Toggenburg valley of the canton of St. Gallen, a region of green alpine pastures, forested slopes and small farms. It is also the birthplace of the Swiss reformer Huldrych Zwingli, a fact many visitors learn during their stay. The surrounding peaks, including the Säntis, the highest summit in northeastern Switzerland, give the valley its dramatic backdrop.
What the view shows
The camera is aimed at the mountain landscape around the Gamserrugg, where the cable car operates. Depending on the view, you may see the ridges and summits that rise above the valley and the activity on the slopes. Clear mornings are often the most rewarding for watching the peaks, while cloud and fog can roll in quickly in the afternoon.
Planning a visit
The region has a mountain climate with cool summers and snowy winters, so conditions can change within a single day. Summer suits hiking and walking, while winter brings skiing and snowshoeing. The nearby Gamsalp and Chaeserrugg cameras give further views of the Wildhaus area, and Iltios and Zinggen cover neighbouring slopes.
