Comprehensive Review of the Interlaken Phototour

The Concept of a Photoshoot Tour in Switzerland

Unlike standard sightseeing, this experience focuses on capturing your personal moments against the backdrop of some of the most stunning scenery the Swiss Alps have to offer. It’s a private, flexible adventure that’s more personalized than a typical photo studio — instead, your photographer, Erich, takes you through a curated route optimized for lighting and scenery, ensuring every shot is worth a thousand words.

The Transport: Going Green in Style

Travel here is done in a Tesla Model X, which is not just a cool feature but also a thoughtful choice for eco-conscious travelers. The electric vehicle’s large windows provide panoramic views during the short drives between stops, enhancing the anticipation for your next photo session. During the ride, Erich also shares interesting tidbits about Interlaken’s history, making the journey both educational and visually appealing.

The Itinerary Breakdown

Stop 1: Interlaken

Your journey begins in the city center of Interlaken, where an expansive meadow offers a picture-perfect view of the Jungfrau mountain looming behind. It’s a lively spot where paragliders often land, adding an energetic vibe to your photos. The Kursaalgarten nearby features a statue of Bollywood filmmaker Chopra, providing quirky photo opportunities, and the old Kursaal building with its grand fountain delivers a touch of historic charm.
