This webcam, in brief
How the camera works and what to expect from the images.
Where is the Bait da Mighel webcam?
At the Bait da Mighel (sometimes written "Bait da Miguel"), a refreshment stop at Uzza, on the edge of Bormio, on the cycle and foot path along the Frodolfo that links Bormio to Valfurva. You can only get there from the cycle path, on foot or by bike.
What can you see from the Bait da Mighel webcam?
The hut and its terrace, the cycle path and the Frodolfo stream, at Uzza, between Bormio and Valfurva. Use it to check weather and snow on the valley floor and along the cycle path before you set off.
Is the image live? How often does it update?
When the camera is running, the image updates automatically every few minutes during daylight hours. The time of the latest snapshot is shown on the page; the timelapse plays back the hours before.
Is the Bait da Mighel open in summer too?
The Bait da Mighel is not a high-mountain hut: it is a bar with a grill along the cycle path between Bormio and Valfurva. Opening periods change: check directly with the people who run it. The webcam stays on all year.
Discover Bormio
Uzza is the first hamlet of Valfurva you meet on the way up from Bormio, with its 15th-century church of San Rocco. The Bait da Mighel stands in the Uzza woods, at 1,295 metres, some seventy metres higher than the square in Bormio: this is where the basin ends and the valley of the Frodolfo begins.
The Sentiero Frodolfo, the cycle and foot path that passes here, is about five and a half kilometres long and tarmac all the way. It starts in Bormio, at about 1,200 metres, and reaches Sant'Antonio Valfurva with less than 200 metres of climbing: the steepest part comes at the start, then the route turns easy, with Val Zebrù ahead. At Sant'Antonio there are a playground, a picnic area and a small lake; from there a dirt road carries on to Santa Caterina.
The Frodolfo is 24 kilometres long and one of the main tributaries of the Adda in Alta Valtellina. At Uzza not all of it stays in its bed: part of the water is channelled off and carried through a tunnel as far as Grosio. At 1,295 metres the valley floor is also the first place to look to see whether the snow has come all the way down and whether the cycle path is clear.

Did you know?
The river in front of the webcam is the Frodolfo: it comes down Valfurva, fed by the glaciers of the Ortler-Cevedale group, and joins the Adda at Bormio.
