Gotthard webcam live: tunnel and pass

The six Gotthard webcams on this page show live images of the tunnel portals at Göschenen and Airolo, the A2 near Wassen, the Schöllenen Gorge and the Gotthard Pass. They are operated by the Office for National Road Operations (AfBN), which monitors the Gotthard road tunnel from Flüelen. The images are updated continuously, those from the portal cameras every 5 minutes according to the Touring Club Switzerland (TCS). This page reloads them at the same rate as long as it is open. The time each image was taken is shown in its top left corner.

Göschenen webcam: southbound queue

Southbound, the queue forms in front of the north portal. The camera at Göschenen looks towards the tunnel in the direction of travel; the camera at Wassen shows the approach further north. If there is a queue there too, it is already several kilometres long.

Airolo webcam: northbound queue

Northbound, the queue forms in front of the south portal. The camera at Airolo is right in front of the tunnel entrance and looks south, i.e. at the vehicles queuing to go north.

Gotthard live: webcam, queue length and forecast

An image only shows part of the road. How long the queue is in total and how much delay it causes is shown in the live summary at the top and on the pages Queues at the north portal and Queues at the south portal. The trend over the last few hours in each direction is shown on the live Gotthard traffic page. Whether it will get worse in the coming hours is shown by the traffic forecast.

Gotthard Pass webcam: open or closed?

The cameras at the hospice and at the Galleria dei Banchi show the pass road at around 2,100 metres. In winter the pass is closed, usually from November to May: in 2025/26 it was closed from 7 November to 8 May. Whether the pass is worth taking as an alternative route is explained on the page Avoiding the Gotthard.

Where the images come from

The cameras belong to the AfBN, which holds the copyright to the images. Stauportal.ch embeds the current image directly from its server. When a time-lapse is running on a camera, its images come from a cache that holds at most the last five images per camera; older ones are deleted continuously. All AfBN cameras, including those at the Seelisberg tunnel, can be found at afbn.ch.
