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 location scouting, specialised crews, stunt people, mountain safety experts and helicopters to warm cups of espresso at the top of a glacier!

Shoot in the Alps' strength lies in detailed knowledge of the alpine territory provided by a network of professionals who live and work in the region throughout the year. Its database includes everything a client's imagination will ask, and more.

Chamonix is closer to Milan than Paris; Lake Como is one hour away from Saint Moritz; Kranjska Gora is one hour and half from sandy beaches; and six months a year, clients can shoot their models skiing on day one, and swimming in the sea on day two.
