This live camera looks out from the Pléiades, a mountain above Montreux on the northern shore of Lake Geneva. It is a useful way to check how the lake and the surrounding Vaud hills look before you travel. The page also shows local time and current weather for Montreux.
About Montreux and the Pléiades
Montreux sits on a narrow strip of land between the steep slopes of the Alps and the water of Lake Geneva, in the canton of Vaud. The town is known for its lakeside promenades, its gardens and its music festival, and for the Château de Chillon nearby. The Pléiades rises above the town, so the viewpoint takes in the lake, the far shore and the mountains that frame the valley. Conditions change quickly here, and the mountain location means the view often differs from the valley floor.
What you can watch and when
Depending on the view, you may see the lake surface shift from calm mirror to choppy wind-ruffled water, cloud moving across the peaks and the lights of towns along the shore after dark. Clear mornings tend to give the sharpest distance, while late afternoon often brings warm colour to the water and hills. In winter, snow on the higher slopes is worth watching, and changing weather can bring fog that hides the lake completely for a while.
Practical notes and nearby views
Montreux has a mild climate for Switzerland, with warm summers and relatively mild winters, though weather on the mountain can be cooler and windier than in town. Spring and early autumn are often pleasant for walking. If you want other angles on the region, the cameras at Les Paccots, the Montreux city view, La Tour-de-Peilz harbour and Vevey are all within a short distance and show different parts of the lakeshore.
