7 Mountains Productions - Out of Chamonix across the Alps.

7 Mountains is the little sister of 7 Seas Productions. This local team manage commercial and campaign shoots from their Chamonix base and cover all of The Alps. Most recently completing a commercial for Audi, showcasing the impressive new Audi e-tron against the Indian summer Alps panorama that was crowned with an overnight snowfall. 7 Mountains covers the Alps - from Switzerland to Italy, both only a 30 minutes drive away through either the Mont Blanc tunnel or over the Montet pass.

This month 7 Mountains just wrapped on a campaign production for popular lifestyle and fashion brand Casablanca Paris. 7 Mountains scouted and explored two new glaciers in Switzerland for this project, Saas Fee and Les Diablerets. Both glaciers offer year-round winter backdrops, beautifully aligned against Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. The final decision was to shoot in glamourous Gstaad, which is easy to see why thanks to the making-of photos shown here.

7 Mountains Productions has a unique approach to photo and film shoots in Chamonix and the wider Alps. The company's producers and location managers are qualified ski instructors and mountain guides, well-used to tackling the diverse terrain, making them the best people possible to lead the crew.

Thanks to their wit, skill and experience these 'mountain specialists’ get the whole crew up and down the mountain safely and ensure the 'shots are got' each day.

And what makes Chamonix so special? You have two different climates on each side of Mont Blanc. The cities of Chamonix (France) and Courmayeur (Italy) are connected by the famous Mont Blanc Tunnel, giving you access to glaciers and breath-taking high altitude mountain plateaux within a 30-minute drive of each other. This unique position makes productions convenient as the best weather conditions on the day determine which side of Mont Blanc to go to.
