According to Swiss media outlets such as 20 Minuten, on April 8 (local time), a couple climbed to the summit of Faulhorn, located 2,681 meters above sea level near Grindelwald, Switzerland, and took advantage of the secluded environment to display affection.


It was reported that they stayed on the terrace of a hotel near the summit, which was closed for the off-season, and took off their ski suits to engage in intimate acts. Although they seemed reassured by the absence of people nearby, there was an unexpected variable.


24-Hour Weather Webcam Captures and Broadcasts Incident Live

A weather observation webcam was installed at the location. This camera continuously streams live footage of the weather and snow conditions in the Faulhorn area online 24 hours a day, and the incident was also broadcast in its entirety.


It was confirmed that some people were actually watching the live stream at the time. One viewer told the media, "I logged in to check the weather but ended up witnessing an unexpected scene. At first, I laughed, and then I thought, 'It must be pretty cold up there.'


Automatic Mosaic Protects Identities...Video Immediately Deleted

Fortunately, the webcam is equipped with a system that automatically applies mosaic blurring when people appear on screen, so the individuals’ identities were not exposed. Additionally, once the incident was recognized, the video was immediately removed from the official website.



Meanwhile, the French media outlet Le Parisien reported on this case, noting that private acts outdoors can lead to unexpected consequences. The outlet also mentioned a similar incident in June last year, when two men in their 40s were caught engaging in inappropriate acts outdoors on an island in Italy’s Lake Maggiore and were each fined about 10,000 euros (approximately 17 million won).
