The Stelvio Pass and the ski slopes in the glacier – standing at over 3000 metres above sea level – can be seen online thanks to 11 webcams placed in the most strategic points.
The project, by the Banca Popolare di Sondrio to support the image and tourist promotion of the Stelvio Pass, lets you see the weather and snow conditions of the Pass in real time, even when it is inaccessible for about six months in winter.
This project was no easy feat: temperatures which in the winter can reach – 40° , with winds of more than 150 km an hour and abundant snowfalls, put the equipment to a harsh test every year. To counter the severe environmental conditions, special “reinforced” cameras were installed which, in the case of breakdown, allow the technicians to intervene remotely, in any weather condition.
