This webcam, in brief
How the camera works and what to expect from the images.
Is the Bernina Pass open?
Usually yes, all year: the Bernina road is kept open in winter too, with continuous snow clearing. Short closures are possible during the heaviest snowfalls; in the cold season you need winter equipment, and chains are compulsory where the signs say so.
What can you see from the Bernina Pass webcam?
The pass at 2,328 metres, between Poschiavo and St. Moritz, in the Lago Bianco area. Use it to check snow, wind and visibility before you cross.
Is there snow on the Bernina Pass now?
Reading of 9 October 2026 at 04:06 (local time): it is not snowing and no snow is forecast for the next 24 hours. Snow on the ground is not measured: the picture shows it. At 2,328 metres snow usually covers the pass from November to May and can fall in any month. The webcam shows it in real time, with the time of the snapshot.
What is Lago Bianco?
A reservoir at 2,234 metres on the Bernina Pass, about 3 kilometres long and held back by two dams. It marks the watershed: its waters flow towards the Adda and the Adriatic, while a little further north Lej Nair drains towards the Inn and the Black Sea.
Does the Bernina Express go over the pass?
Yes: the Rhaetian Railway runs along Lago Bianco and stops at Ospizio Bernina, at 2,253 metres, the highest point reached in Europe by a railway without a rack. The train runs all year.
Discover Bernina Pass
On the Bernina Pass Romansh ends and Italian begins: the pass separates the Engadin from Valposchiavo by language too. The carriage road was built between 1842 and 1865 and has been kept open all year since 1965, even though snow lies up here for about eight months. The camera, at 2,328 metres, shows what the pass looks like right now.
The railway came after the road, and at first it ran only in summer: the line was completed on 5 July 1910 and has been in service twelve months a year since the winter of 1913–14. On the pass the tracks skirt a lake that in its present form is man-made: between 1910 and 1911 two dams, Scala to the south and Arlas to the north, joined Lago Bianco and the smaller Lago della Scala into a single reservoir.
Two cable cars climb from the pass road: the Diavolezza one, opened in 1956, and the Piz Lagalb one, from 1963. To the south the road drops to Poschiavo in about 17 kilometres and about 1,300 metres of descent; on the way down the road to the Forcola di Livigno branches off, closed in winter. See also the Forcola, the other Valposchiavo webcams and those of the Engadin, the Alpine passes or the map.
Did you know?
Lago Bianco owes its name to the silt of the Cambrena glacier, which turns its water milky. A few dozen metres further north lies Lej Nair, the black lake, already on the Inn side: two colours, two seas.
