This camera looks out from the Grande Dixence area in the village of Hérémence, high in the Swiss Alps at about 2,410 metres.

The live player shows the view as the owner streams it, with local time and forecast shown below.
About Hérémence and the dam
Hérémence sits in the Hérens valley in the canton of Valais, a region of steep slopes, larch forests and small alpine villages. It is best known for the Grande Dixence, one of the highest gravity dams in the world, which holds back a large reservoir in the mountains above the village. The landscape is dramatic and quiet, with a strong sense of height and open sky that changes quickly with the weather.
What to watch on the camera
The camera title points to the bunker area near the dam, so the view is likely to include mountain terrain and infrastructure rather than a town centre. Mornings often bring the clearest air, while afternoons can build cloud over the peaks. In winter the slopes may be snow covered, and in summer the greens of the pastures stand out. Conditions depend on the view and the season, so check the live stream before you plan a trip.
Practical notes and nearby cameras
The best months for visiting are usually late June to September, when mountain roads and paths are most accessible. Winter brings skiing and snow sports to the wider region. Nearby on VizCams you can compare the dam area, the village view of Evolène, the Mont Fort slopes at Verbier and the Tracouet arrival in Nendaz. Weather at this altitude can change within an hour, so layers are sensible.
