Montemonaco Webcam: Foce Live Snow and Weather

The Montemonaco webcam at Foce shows Foce live, a small hamlet of Montemonaco in the province of Ascoli Piceno. The village sits at about 950 meters, in a gorge between Monte Vettore and Monte Sibilla. The name comes from the Latin "faucis", meaning gorge, and on old maps the village appears as Fauce. Foce is the last settlement before the dead-end valley of Lago di Pilato: beyond the houses no road continues, only trails.

In winter the webcam is used mainly to check snow and sky before setting out. The road to Foce runs through a gorge exposed to avalanches and rockfall, and more than once the hamlet has been cut off.

Montemonaco webcam at Foce: the live images

The webcam shows both snapshots and timelapses, which make it possible to follow how clouds and light change during the day.

The images are taken from far away, at a distance at which people cannot be recognized, as privacy rules require.

Conditions on the Vettore side can be compared with the Monte Vettore webcam, the Forca di Presta Webcam and the Castelluccio webcam. The full list is on the page live Sibillini Mountains webcams.

Montemonaco webcam at Foce: weather and snow

In Foce, besides the webcam, there is a weather station at 944 meters. It records temperature, lows and highs, pressure, wind and rain.

Reaching Foce in winter is not always easy. Residents say that every winter snow and the risk of rockfall cause problems on the road. In December 1990 an avalanche blocked the access road and the village was cut off for a week. In March 2015 two avalanches hit the only connecting road: one left a 30-meter mass of snow and residents were taken out by helicopter. After the 2016 earthquake a large landslide cut Foce off for a long time. Today the road passes under the landslide in a tunnel, controlled by a traffic light at the entrance. After fresh snow it is wise to look at the images and check road conditions before leaving.

Many hikers check the webcam before climbing to Lago di Pilato, which lies at 1,941 meters. The trail starts from Foce, crosses the Piano della Gardosa and climbs the Svolte switchbacks. The elevation gain is about 1,000 meters, the difficulty is moderate, and it takes about 2 and a half to 3 hours up and 2 and a half hours back. The Svolte section is the most tiring, because the trail becomes steep and loose. At altitude snow can last a long time.
