This camera looks at the torrent running through Loèche-les-Bains, a spa village high in the Valais Alps. It is a useful way to see how the water is flowing and what the mountain weather looks like before you plan a walk or a visit.
About the village
Loèche-les-Bains, known in German as Leukerbad, sits at roughly 1,400 metres in the Dala valley above the Rhone. It is best known for its thermal baths, fed by warm mineral springs that have drawn visitors for centuries. The surrounding landscape is steep, with limestone cliffs, pine forests and alpine meadows that change sharply with the seasons. The village itself is compact and quiet, shaped by the valley and the stream that runs through it.
What you can watch
The view centres on the torrent, so the main thing to watch is the water: its colour, its level and how quickly it moves after rain or snowmelt. Snowmelt usually raises the flow in late spring and early summer, while dry spells in late summer make it run lower and clearer. Clouds often gather over the peaks in the afternoon, so mornings tend to offer the clearest sky. Check the live weather on this page before deciding when to look.
Visiting and getting around
Summers are mild and walkable, while winters are cold with plenty of snow, and the village is popular with skiers in the season. Loèche-les-Bains is reached by road up the Dala valley, with access from the Rhone valley. Nearby cameras on VizCams show the thermal baths, the Erli ski lift and the villages of Albinen and Inden, which help you judge conditions across the valley.
