Alpine live webcams, weather, cable cars & avalanche forecasts

Nothing is more crucial to your holiday than knowing where in the mountains you will find the best weather and conditions. This page helps you do exactly that, both in the Lake District and across the Alps...

It is a well documented and sad fact that most people who get into trouble in the mountains, have not checked the weather and avalanche forecasts before they set out. Please bookmark this page, and check it before you go! To see the typical weather and route conditions throughout the year in the Alps

If alerting rescue, be prepared to share all of the information below, to the best of your abilities...
Where - location of casualty & you / team, provide grid reference / altitude / route / mountain if possible
Who - name, details, group size, number(s), so that the rescue services can mobilise sufficient response
Why - injuries and condition of casualty, with any details you can provide of first aid given or ongoing
Weather- current conditions for helicopter, so the pilot knows any details on flying conditions and weather
What - plan to stay put, if safe at location, and what equipment you have to protect yourself and casualty

If needing rescue, you can also contact our local host emergency number 24/7, and we can immediately assist in multiple local languages. This number is provided to all on our courses and expeditions at the safety briefing.

Support Mountain Rescue
If you wish to make a charitable donation, our preferred local charity is the Langdale & Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team, and the link to their website is here, and their donations page link is here. Thank you!
Please note that we do not provide any guiding for charity challenge events in the Lake District (or abroad), such as the National Three Peaks. On ethical grounds we will not, and have never, guided any of these types of event. They put intollerable stress on the local infrastructure, communities, and mountain rescue teams.
