Calgosa, Alto Campoo Live Cam

Static view from Calgosa, the lower area of the Alto Campoo ski resort in Cantabria, at 1,650 metres above sea level. The frame looks up a broad grassy mountain slope to a long ridge line, with the sky filling the upper half of the picture.

Alto Campoo is the main ski area of Cantabria, in the Cantabrian Mountains in the municipality of Hermandad de Campoo de Suso, near the hamlet of Brañavieja. The Calgosa sector is mapped with two platter lifts and a conveyor carpet. At this height the ground is open mountain pasture without trees, and in winter the same slopes serve as ski runs.

The camera is fixed and aims uphill across the lower slope, so the picture shows how weather moves over the ridge. Over a day the frames show clouds moving over the crest, then mist, while the terraced lines of the slope and the track climbing to the right stay in view.
