Founded in 2012 in Zurich (408 m above sea level), the location agency November Oscar Sierra Whiskey has added countless scouting altitude metres to their extensive kilometres travelled across Switzerland. From idyllic mountain lakes to bizarre high-Alpine granite towers at nearly 3,000 m, they cover it all.

These outdoor scouting experts are delighted by the steady growth of their archive in recent years, which has significantly enriched their wide and diverse offering of indoor locations, whether in the valley or up in the mountains.

Following the motto “There are always new things to find out if you go looking for them”, the non-stopable scouting duo November Oscar Sierra Whiskey is constantly looking for new places or interpreting existing ones in new ways.

There is nothing missing from the wide range of archives from a wide variety of locations and offers something suitable for every need.
