Varen - Vue sur le village
🇨🇭 Valais · Switzerland — Altitude 747 m
This live camera looks out over Varen, a small village on the sunny side of the Rhône valley in the Swiss canton of Valais. Use it to see how the village and the surrounding slopes look right now, and whether the weather is clear enough for a walk.
Varen sits at roughly 750 metres above sea level on the lower slopes above the Rhône, in the Upper Valais region. The valley is one of the driest parts of Switzerland, and the vineyards and orchards on the terraces are a well-known feature of the area. Villages here are typically compact, with old stone and timber houses built close together against steep hillsides and the valley floor below.
Because the camera shows a village view, you can judge how the sky, cloud and light change over the valley and the mountains beyond. Depending on the view, early morning and late afternoon often bring the most contrast on the slopes, while clear winter days can show snow on the higher peaks. Sunlight in this valley tends to arrive early and stay late on the hillsides, which makes these times of day worth watching.
The Valais has a dry, sunny climate with warm summers and cold, often crisp winters, so late spring, summer and early autumn are popular for walking and vineyard visits. Varen is a short drive from Loèche, Inden, Albinen and Venthône, all of which have their own cameras on VizCams. Check the live weather on this page before setting out, since mountain conditions can change quickly.
