Monte Vettore Webcam: Live Snow and Weather

The Monte Vettore webcam is the quickest way to see from home the highest peak in the Sibillini Mountains, Monte Vettore, at 2,476 m. The mountain marks the border between Umbria and the Marche, and the summit lies in Marche territory. The cameras film it from two sides: from Castelluccio di Norcia, on the Umbrian side, and from Pretare, a hamlet of Arquata del Tronto below the southern side.

The images also show the marks of the earthquake. On the western flank, the one facing the Castelluccio plain, the earthquake of October 30, 2016 opened two fault scarps: one higher up, along the main fault plane, and one lower down, along a minor fault. The International Union of Geological Sciences has listed the Monte Vettore fault among the 200 geosites of greatest scientific value.

Monte Vettore webcam: the live images

Monte Vettore can be followed live from two points. The Castelluccio webcam sits at about 1,450 m and faces east. The view takes in the village of Castelluccio di Norcia with the Vettore in the background. This is the western side, the flank above the plain where the fault is most visible.

On the Marche side there is the Pretare webcam, installed in November 2012 at a panoramic spot in the village. The project was started by the Associazione Monte Vettore together with the residents of the hamlet. The aim was to follow changes in the weather and the seasons, starting with the first snow on the summit.

The other views of the massif are gathered on the page live Sibillini Mountains webcams.

Monte Vettore webcam: weather and snow

The webcam shows whether there is snow on Monte Vettore, but it does not say whether the snowpack is stable. On the Vettore avalanches are a real risk. On April 3, 2025 two large avalanches broke loose on the massif. One blocked the descent trail from the Zilioli hut, and some hikers were rescued by the Soccorso Alpino (mountain rescue) and by helicopters. On several occasions the AINEVA bulletin has reported a danger level of 3 (considerable) on the eastern side of the massif.

Before a winter outing, read the avalanche danger bulletins of the Marche Region and those of the Carabinieri Meteomont Service. The Region's bulletins are issued during the winter season: in the 2025/2026 season the last one was published on April 29, 2026. Always compare them with the day's weather forecast.

The classic ascent starts from Forca di Presta, a mountain pass at 1,536 m. In winter it is not for everyone, even when there is no snow. With snow or ice, mountaineering crampons, an ice axe and specific training are needed, as well as a self-rescue kit with avalanche transceiver (ARTVA), shovel and probe. On this route snowshoes are of little use. Lago di Pilato lies below the summit and in winter stays covered by snow, so it cannot be seen.

Frequently asked questions

How high is Monte Vettore and where is it?

Monte Vettore is 2,476 m high and is the highest peak in the Sibillini Mountains. It lies in the Umbria-Marche Apennines, on the border between Umbria and the Marche, with the summit in the province of Ascoli Piceno. It is part of the Sibillini National Park. On clear days the summit offers views of the Gran Sasso, Terminillo and the Adriatic.

Can you climb Monte Vettore when there is snow?

Yes, but only with specific training and the right equipment. On the route from Forca di Presta, snow or ice calls for crampons and an ice axe, as well as a self-rescue kit with avalanche transceiver (ARTVA), shovel and probe. In winter the route is not for everyone, even without snow. On the traverse toward the Zilioli hut there is often bare ice.

Where can you check the avalanche risk on Monte Vettore?

During the winter the Marche Region publishes avalanche danger bulletins, as it is part of the national AINEVA network. At national level there is also the Meteomont Service of the Carabinieri. The bulletin should be read before every outing: on the eastern side of Monte Vettore the danger has reached level 3, considerable, several times.

Where can you see the 2016 earthquake fault on the Vettore?

The Monte Vettore fault is most visible on the flank of the mountain above the Castelluccio plain. The earthquake of October 30, 2016, of magnitude 6.5, left two scarps on the western side. One runs higher up, along the main fault plane. The other is lower down, along a minor fault.
