Shoot in the Alps
The European Alps
Shoot in The Alps is a film and photo facilitating company operating in the European Alps - France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia as a single geographic entity. The company handles everything from full production service, location scouting, casting of sports models, stuntmen, mountain safety experts and helicopters. And let’s not forget the warm cups of Espresso at 3800 metres!
A glacier in Austria might not be as accessible as one in Italy, and the snow in France might be deeper than in Switzerland... or everything could be just the opposite. Conditions change quickly in the mountains and a detailed and updated knowledge of the territory is necessary for a successful production. Shoot in the Alps will take clients exactly where their production needs to be - knowledge that is provided by a network of professionals who live and work in the region all year long.
For six months a year, clients can shoot their models while skiing on day one, and swim in the sea on day two. Shoot in The Alps has access to snow 365 days-a-year! The locations database includes everything a client can think of: cities, forests, lakes, castles, beaches, icefalls, pastures, rural villages, high altitude - but accessible – icy peaks, and much more. The automotive industry will find amazing roads here, and fashion photographers will enjoy the mix between modern and historical architecture.
The team works with crews and suppliers from Milan, Geneva, Innsbruck, Munich, Zurich and Ljubljana, offering the best equipment and the highest level of professionalism.
