If you're planning to shoot anywhere in Switzerland, our location scouting service can help you find the perfect landscape or property for your production, whether in the Ticino region, the Alps, or Northern Italy.
Switzerland's Magical Landscapes
Switzerland offers ideal settings for a multitude of stories, proving to be the perfect place to set any kind of narrative. We offer a selection of outdoor locations, public spaces, and private residences. Based on the production's requests, we will verify the availability, usage conditions, and characteristics of each individual location.
Exclusive Northern Italian Settings
Northern Italy offers a rich variety of settings, making it an exceptional backdrop for stories of all kinds. From elegant villas to scenic countryside estates, the region presents unique atmospheres that inspire diverse narratives. Located just beyond the border from Ticino, it allows for seamless integration with Swiss-based productions. Upon request, we will assess the availability, conditions of use, and specific features of each private location.
Location Scouting FAQs ⟼
1. What is location scouting and why is it important?
Location scouting is a pre-production service where we research, visit, and recommend filming locations that match your project's creative vision and production needs. A professional scout helps ensure the location works visually, technically, and logistically, reducing risks and avoiding surprises during the shoot.
2. Where do you scout locations?
We scout locations throughout Switzerland, including Ticino and the Alps, and can extend to nearby regions in Northern Italy if needed. Whether you need rugged nature, historic towns, or specific architectural styles, we've got you covered.
3. What do you look for during a scouting visit?
During scouting we evaluate visual fit (how it looks on camera), technical feasibility (lighting, access, power), logistics (parking, crew space), and permits or permissions required for filming. We then present you with the best options that align with your brief.
4. How does the Location Scouting process work?
Brief: You tell us the style, mood, and requirements of your project.
Research & Visits: We scout and document suitable locations.
Proposal: We send you a location deck with photos, notes and recommendations.
Selection & Logistics: Once you choose, we help coordinate access details and prepare the location for shooting.
5. How do you charge for location scouting?
We charge either a daily fee or a flat rate, depending on the requirements, scope, and complexity of the scout. Pricing is always defined in advance, based on the number of locations, travel, time on site, and specific production needs.
