Why check the Cauterets webcam?
The live camera at Cauterets shows, almost instantly, snow quality, visibility and crowds. This way you avoid unnecessary trips and make the most of the best days in the mountains.
Benefits for beginners
- Check if the easy slopes are open.

Benefits for experienced skiers
- Hunt for powder right after fresh snow.
- Plan freeride routes based on the amount of fresh snow.
- Spot wind gusts or icy patches and choose your equipment accordingly.
How to interpret the live image
Snow color and brightness show temperature and texture. Long shadows suggest low sun and possible icy areas. Also watch the wind socks: if they're fluttering, prepare for strong gusts.
