Local time UTC+1Checked 0 viewsHDNature
This live camera looks out over Lac, the lake at the heart of the Melchsee-Frutt plateau in the Obwalden canton of central Switzerland. People watch it to judge how the alpine light, cloud and wind look at about 1920 metres before planning a walk or a drive up the valley.
A high alpine plateau
Melchsee-Frutt sits on a broad terrace in the Obwalden Alps, reached by a road and cable car from the Kerns and Meiringen side. The lakes Melchsee and Tannensee lie in open high pasture ringed by peaks of the Titlis and Engelberg range. The setting feels quiet and wide, with grazing land, small huts and clear mountain air that defines the character of the area.
What the view is best for
The camera is most useful for checking the lake surface and sky conditions. Mornings often bring calm water and sharp reflections, while afternoon thunderstorms can build quickly over the ridges in summer. Autumn colours in the surrounding pasture and the first snow on the slopes are also worth watching, depending on the season and the view at the time.
Practical planning
Summer is the main season for walking and lake outings, roughly from June to September, while winter brings snow and cross-country skiing. Temperatures at this altitude can be much colder than in the valleys, even in summer, so check the forecast above before you set off. Nearby cameras include Melchsee-Frutt Village, Bonistock and the Mägisalp view above Meiringen-Hasliberg.
