West Vancouver Webcam:
Enjoy Free Webcam Viewing

 

Our award-winning webcam was perched up on the hillside in West Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada), a Venue City for the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. The February 12-28 2010 Winter Olympics (the third Olympics hosted by Canada after the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary), were held in Vancouver with some events held in the nearby resort town of Whistler.

 

Current weather:

 

This webcam was facing south and was located on the Skilift Road, at an altitude of 200 m from sea level, above Highway 1 (part of Trans-Canada route) to Whistler and just minutes from Lion’s Gate Bridge.

If you look closely you can see:

• Bottom center of the picture - the upper levels of Highway 1 near Exit 10, when the trees are leafless ;-)
• In the center, the high-rise buildings bordering the West Vancouver Sea Walk from Ambleside Park (1.6 km) to the Dundarave Pier (1.3 km)
• Further up, over the Burrard Inlet from left to right: Stanley Park (5 km), Downtown Vancouver (8 km), Kitsilano Beach (8 km) and Jericho Beach (8 km)

Apart from this free webcam viewing, the same spectacular Downtown Vancouver and ocean views can be enjoyed while dining at Salmon House on the Hill Restaurant, an unforgettable West Coast cuisine experience.
