In brief
Central Switzerland offers urban and alpine locations in a small area – with infrastructure that serves both. We organise basecamps and parking, clarify electricity and technology, plan transport via road, rail, ship and cable car, and arrange accommodation, catering and regional service providers.
- Basecamp areas including permits and access
- Mains connection or generator operation, regionally sourced technology
- Mountain railways and special trips for high-altitude locations
- Accommodation in all categories with negotiated conditions
- Crew, auxiliary staff and extras from the region
SERVICES IN DETAIL
Four areas where we provide concrete relief for productions – from initial planning to dismantling.
Basecamp and Parking
Basecamps, technical vehicles, wardrobe, and catering require spaces that fit the location and are logistically accessible. We know suitable sites in the city, the agglomeration, and the mountain regions, and we know where access, ground conditions, and space are appropriate for larger productions.
Public spaces almost always require a permit, while private sites require an agreement with the owners. We clarify responsibilities, negotiate usage and conditions, and assist with parking, deliveries, and traffic management around the set.
- Areas in the city, agglomeration, and mountain regions
- Access, terrain, and space conditions checked
- Permits for public spaces
- Agreements with private owners
- Parking and deliveries around the set
- Traffic management in coordination with authorities
SEASON AND ACCESSIBILITY
What can be realistically filmed in which season – and what the planning must take into account.
Winter
Pass roads and alpine paths closed, mountain railways with reduced hours. Snow-sure locations from mid-altitude, short daylight windows.
Spring
Snow line rises, alpine paths open in stages. Wildlife rest and breeding periods restrict locations in protected areas.
Summer
Full accessibility, but high occupancy rates for accommodation, boat services and mountain railways. Early reservation recommended.
Autumn
Stable lighting conditions, lower tourist volume, cattle descents (Alpabzug) and seasonal closures from October.
