Sibillini Mountains Webcams: Live Snow and Weather

Photo: Enric / CC BY-SA 4.0 / Wikimedia Commons

The webcams of the Sibillini Mountains show snow, clouds and visibility in real time on the Marche and Umbria sides of the park, for a live look at the weather before setting out. The images cover the busiest places in winter: the slopes of Frontignano di Ussita, Pintura di Bolognola and Sassotetto, the Pian Grande of Castelluccio di Norcia, and Foce di Montemonaco. There are currently no active webcams at the Forca di Presta and Forca Canapine passes. In the background of many shots is Monte Vettore, which at 2,476 m is the highest peak in the Sibillini.

Some of these webcams also tell the recent story of the area. In Castelluccio the webcam on via Monte Veletta had been knocked out by the 2016 earthquake. It was reinstalled thanks to an online fundraiser, and today it runs on solar power and streams live images and timelapses. At Frontignano the ski resort reopened only in February 2022, after more than five years of closure caused by the earthquake.

Live Sibillini Mountains webcams: the map

On the map, the Sibillini webcams cluster in three areas.

The densest group is in the province of Macerata. It includes Frontignano, in the municipality of Ussita, Bolognola with its hamlet of Pintura, and the Sassotetto–Santa Maria Maddalena ski area, in the municipality of Sarnano. These places are close together: the Sassotetto webcam is about 2 km from the Pintura di Bolognola webcam and about 12 km from the Frontignano one. Lower down, the Lago di Fiastra webcam is at 677 m in the hamlet of San Lorenzo al Lago and faces south, toward the Sibillini.

The second area is the Vettore group. Foce di Montemonaco is a small village in a gorge between Monte Vettore and Monte Sibilla. Forca di Presta, by contrast, is the mountain pass where people leave the car to climb to the summit of the Vettore along the standard route.

The third area is the plateau of Castelluccio di Norcia, in Umbria, about 8 km from the Foce webcam. A little further south is Forca Canapine, a ski area on the border between Umbria and the Marche, between the provinces of Perugia and Ascoli Piceno.

Live Sibillini Mountains webcams: the places on camera

Castelluccio di Norcia. The village stands on a hill at 1,452 m and overlooks the Pian Grande, at the foot of Monte Vettore. One of the webcams films the Pian Grande and the Umbrian side of the Vettore 24 hours a day, with Cima del Redentore (2,448 m), the highest peak in Umbria. The historic center of Castelluccio was almost completely destroyed by the 2016 earthquake. Between late May and mid-July the webcams capture the flowering of the Pian Grande and of Pian Perduto. In winter they show the village covered in snow and, in the evening, the lights of the houses.

Frontignano di Ussita. It is the largest ski resort in the Marche. The shocks of October 26, 2016 had badly damaged it, and it reopened on February 26, 2022 with the Pian dell'Arco–Belvedere and Lo Schiancio–Le Saliere chairlifts. The latter climbs from about 1,360 to about 1,550 m and can be reached by car up to the Frontignano parking lots. The highest lifts, those of Canalone–Cornaccione, were hit hard by the earthquake. The Frontignano webcam is mainly used to check the snow on the slopes.

Pintura di Bolognola. The hamlet is about 3 km from the main village, Bolognola, which sits at 1,070 m. The lifts start at about 1,280 m and climb to just below the summit of Monte Castel Manardo, which also appears in one of the Bolognola webcams. Besides the downhill slopes there is a cross-country skiing loop of about 4 km.

Sassotetto and Santa Maria Maddalena. The Sarnano ski area has more than 11 km of intermediate slopes and a snow park. It also has floodlighting for night skiing.

Foce di Montemonaco. The village is at about 950 m. Its name comes from the Latin "faucis", meaning gorge. From Foce the route crosses the Piano della Gardosa, climbs the Svolte switchbacks and reaches Lago di Pilato. Alongside the webcams there is also a weather station.

Forca Canapine. The area lies between 1,330 and 1,670 m, but its ski lifts are closed. At times the webcam images have not been available either.

Live Sibillini Mountains webcams: tips for your visit

The webcams are most useful from November to April, to see how much snow there is and what the sky looks like up high before driving to the slopes. The start of the season can change from year to year. In December 2025, for example, Frontignano, Bolognola, Sassotetto and Santa Maria Maddalena reopened their lifts for the Immacolata holiday weekend. They are worth checking in late spring too, because Bolognola, Frontignano and Sassotetto have seen heavy snowfall even in May.

A sunny image is not enough to plan a hike on snow. Before climbing snowy trails, for example toward the Vettore from Forca di Presta, the Sibillini avalanche bulletin should be checked as well as the forecast.

Webcams can go offline because of faults or maintenance, and some were switched off for a long time after the earthquake. If an image looks frozen, compare it with a nearby webcam: for example Pintura and Sassotetto, or Castelluccio and Foce. The cameras film from a distance and people cannot be recognized. Forecasts, snow reports and all the other webcams are gathered on the page Sibillini Mountains Weather. Outside the park, the City of Ascoli Piceno runs the Ascoli Piceno webcam on Piazza Arringo, useful for conditions in town.

Frequently asked questions

How can you tell if there is snow on the Sibillini slopes?

The most useful webcams are those of the Marche ski resorts: Frontignano di Ussita, Pintura di Bolognola and Sassotetto–Santa Maria Maddalena, in Sarnano. They frame the slopes and let you judge the snow in real time. The Pintura lifts start at about 1,280 m. At Frontignano the Lo Schiancio–Le Saliere chairlift climbs from about 1,360 to about 1,550 m.

Which webcam shows Monte Vettore?

Monte Vettore, the highest peak in the Sibillini at 2,476 m, is clearly visible from the Castelluccio di Norcia webcams. They film the Pian Grande and the Umbrian side with Cima del Redentore, at 2,448 m. The Vettore is also the backdrop of Foce di Montemonaco, a small village in a gorge between the Vettore and Monte Sibilla.

Can you follow the flowering on the Castelluccio webcam?

Yes. The flowering of the Pian Grande and Pian Perduto, at Castelluccio di Norcia, usually runs from late May to mid-July. The plateau webcams show it live. The one on via Monte Veletta had been knocked out by the 2016 earthquake and was reinstalled. It runs on solar power and also streams timelapses.

Has Frontignano reopened after the earthquake?

Yes. The Frontignano di Ussita ski resort stayed closed for more than five years after the shocks of October 26, 2016. It reopened on February 26, 2022 with the Pian dell'Arco–Belvedere and Lo Schiancio–Le Saliere chairlifts. The highest lifts, those of Canalone–Cornaccione, were hit hard by the earthquake.
