Dear travelers,

Many of us miss Switzerland and feel sad about canceled and postponed trips. In the hopes of easing the time we have to bridge until our future Switzerland visits, we’ve collected lists of live webcams, images, videos and virtual (train) tours at http://www.myswissalps.com/coronavirus/images, allowing you to watch Switzerland from your own home.

Enjoy :-)!

Thank you for this link.

Even before the covid pause, in recent years , I have spent hundreds of hours discovering live and roundshot cameras from the Swiss Alps. It has become an almost obsessive avocation. Here are my favorites.

Roundshot cameras are almost live (every 10 minutes) and offer a circulating 360 degree video. Here is a list (and map) of the numerous roundshot cameras in Switzerland. Note that under the map has categories to choose (eg, ski resorts, villages, hotels etc)

The second category is live webcams. From these you can spot butterflies, cows, helicopters, skiers, and flowing streams. My favorite region is Graubunden, so that’s my example below. But please note the drop down boxes on the top to choose any region of Switzerland . Also note that if you have a lot of time to explore these choices, you also have access to other areas of Europe and around the world.

Enjoy!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the links Maloja!

I would also like to recommend checking out Swissview videos on its YouTube channel. These are mostly archived videos but there’s quite a lot and will give you a glimpse of many interesting places in Switzerland. I found it especially useful researching about castles in Switzerland (for my son’s project) from this playlist here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDNgKU5hK5l3VUZYwOT_-0wcrTLD-mqKD

And here’s an aerial view of where I live: youtu.be/d0s88F3jGgE

Stay safe and regards,

Anna

Thanks for your tips, Maloja Snake and Anna! I love the roundshot cams and the Swissview videos you’ve recommended: they’re wonderful and I’ll add them to http://www.myswissalps.com/coronavirus/images.
