Current weather conditions
Did you know that the weather in the mountains can be so unpredictable that it's not uncommon to experience all four seasons in a single day? It's like Mother Nature can't make up her mind and just decides to throw everything at you all at once! So, if you're planning a hike in the mountains, be prepared to pack for summer, fall, winter, and spring all in the same backpack.
Webcam
In addition to providing stunning views of the dam and its surroundings, did you know that a 360-degree webcam installed on a dam can capture unexpected wildlife sightings? For example, the camera installed on the Mauvoisin Dam in Switzerland captured ibex climbing the steep walls of the dam. Nature can surprise us in the most unexpected places.
