Photo Tour Overview

Our Swiss & French Alps photo tour is timed perfectly with the peak of fall, when golden larches and fiery reds blanket the mountains, transforming the landscape into a painter’s palette.

Over 8 incredible days, we’ll photograph the most iconic sights in Switzerland—like the Lauterbrunnen Valley, Oeschinensee Lake, and the legendary village of Zermatt—as well as hidden gems across the border in France, including the magical Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval and secluded waterfalls tucked away in golden forests.

We’ll ride cable cars, scenic trains, and funiculars to reach epic viewpoints. And if the skies are kind, you’ll have the chance to take an optional helicopter flight over Zermatt or the Aletsch Glacier—an experience that will stay with you forever.

Throughout the tour, we’ll be by your side to help you capture the beauty of the Alps in every kind of light—sunrise, sunset, twilight, and even those magical moments in between. Whether you’re refining your technique or simply chasing the perfect shot, this workshop is designed to inspire and elevate your photography in one of the most photogenic places on Earth.

Official Swiss & French Alps Photo Tour Brochure

Is this Alps Photo Tour the right trip for me?

Before you dive in, just a quick heads-up: this Alps photo tour includes daily moderate hikes to reach our stunning locations. Think 1–3 miles with up to 1,000 ft elevation gain, sometimes on uneven trails.

You don’t need to be a mountaineer, but good fitness is important to fully enjoy the experience. All the moderate hikes are optional, but be sure to check the itinerary and hiking chart below.

2025 Swiss & French Alps Photo Tour Itinerary

The itinerary of our Alps photo tour can be flexible. We know the area very well, so our goal will be to photograph the alpine landscapes in the best possible conditions, depending on the weather forecast.

We will try to make the most of the morning and evening light, but the Alps also provide plenty of photo opportunities for landscape photography, even on overcast days.

DAY 1: Alps Photo Tour

This Swiss & French Alps photo tour will begin near Geneva Airport (GVA), where we’ll meet at 9 AM with the rest of the group. From Geneva, we will drive about 2 hours to the Bernese Alps in western Switzerland, where we will spend the next three days shooting some outstanding landscapes.

As we get closer to the mountains, the landscapes will become more impressive. Our first stop will be Giessbach Falls, a 500-meter waterfall that drops into Lake Brienz at the foot of the historic Grandhotel Giessbach. The hotel can be reached by a funicular that holds the title of the oldest funicular railway in Europe.

After that, we will drive to Sustenpass, where we will shoot the sunset from different viewpoints along the road. We will then head to our accommodation near Rosenlaui Valley.

DAY 2: Alps Photo Tour

On the second day of our Alps photography tour, we will wake up early to capture the sunrise at Rosenlaui, a green valley with majestic mountains, waterfalls, and rivers.

After breakfast, we will continue exploring the Rosenlaui Valley by doing a beautiful 1-hour optional hike to a secret spot surrounded by massive peaks and glaciers.

Later we’ll drive to Grindelwald, one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland, which is surrounded by massive, 13,000 ft-high peaks and glaciers. From there, we will take a cable car up to First, a breathtaking scenic overlook where we will spend the night in a very unique accommodation. Here, we will enjoy some of the trip’s most amazing views and take pictures of the most prominent alpine mountains, such as the Eiger and Schreckhorn.

From First, we will do a moderate 1.5-hour hike to the beautiful Bachalpsee Lake, where we will capture the sunset. If conditions allow, we will do a night photography session from this spectacular location overlooking some of the most dramatic peaks in the Alps.

DAY 3: Alps Photo Tour

On the third day of our Swiss & French Alps photo trip, we will start by capturing the sunrise at First. We’ll be privileged to enjoy these fantastic views by ourselves since the cable cars will still be closed to the public.

Later, we will drive to the picturesque village of Lauterbrunnen, one of the most impressive places in Switzerland.

Lauterbrunnen Valley, also known as the “Valley of 72 Waterfalls,” is a spectacular glaciated valley surrounded by huge mountains and 900ft waterfalls. Tolkien was inspired by this valley to create Rivendell in Lord of the Rings, and as soon as you see it with your own eyes, you’ll understand why.

Here, we will explore the town and its best photographic points. If conditions allow, we will take an optional and not included scenic helicopter flight to photograph the valley and surrounding peaks from the air. This flight includes a landing in one of the glaciers to take images of this majestic landscape from the ice.

After sunset, we will check into our hotel in the heart of the valley, where we will stay in a special room overlooking the church and the giant waterfalls.

DAY 4: Alps Photo Tour

On the fourth day of our Alps photo adventure, we will wake up early to take a funicular up to Wengen, a beautiful village located above Lauterbrunnen with stunning views of the valley. We will then walk to our sunrise shooting spot, where we’ll enjoy a majestic view of the area and, hopefully, the typical Autumn morning fog rolling across the valley.

Later, we will head towards the Pennine Alps in southern Switzerland to reach Zermatt, the famous Swiss village with an imposing view of the Matterhorn. To get there, we will take a quick train from the village of Täsch since Zermatt is a car-free town.

After leaving our luggage at the hotel, we will take the Gornergrat Railway, the second-highest railway in Europe, to Gornergrat, a breathtaking 360° viewpoint with views of the Matterhorn and the Gorner Glacier. There we’ll take plenty of images and panoramas of this surreal landscape.

If conditions allow, we will hike down to Riffelsee Lake, a beautiful lake where you can see the Matterhorn reflected. We will do our sunset session here before catching the railway back to Zermatt.

DAY 5: Alps Photo Tour

On the fifth day of this Swiss & French Alps photo trip, we will wake up early to capture the stars over Zermatt, the magical blue hour with the lights in town, and finally, the alpenglow light hitting the Matterhorn, the most iconic mountain in the Alps.

If the weather is good and the mountains are visible, after breakfast, we will take an unforgettable 30 min. heli-flight over the Matterhorn and its surrounding mountains and glaciers. It’s an optional and not included activity, so you can also take a walk in the charming town of Zermatt or rest in the spa room of our hotel if you prefer.

We will then leave Zermatt and drive to Fiesch, where we will take a cable car up to the largest glacier in the Alps, Aletschgletscher, which is 14 miles (23 km) long. The views are spectacular there, and we will spend a few hours shooting in the area until the last cable car departure.

After this, we will drive for 2 hours and cross the border to France to spend the next 3 nights at Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, a renowned resort town in the French Alps, located at the base of Mont Blanc.

If there is time, we’ll do a sunset stop around the French Chamonix Valley, where we’ll photograph photogenic lakes, the popular French “Aiguilles”, and Mont Blanc, the second highest mountain in Europe and highest in the Alps.

DAY 6: Alps Photo Tour

On the sixth day of our Swiss & French Alps photo adventure, weather permitting, we’ll ascend to the legendary Aiguille du Midi, a 12,605-ft (3,842m) peak in the Mont Blanc massif. This iconic location is accessible via the world’s highest vertical ascent cable car and provides unparalleled panoramic views of the Mont Blanc range, the Matterhorn, and even the distant peaks of Italy and Switzerland. At the summit, we’ll have the chance to step onto a glass-floored skywalk known as “Step into the Void” and photograph the dramatic peaks from various viewpoints.

If the weather allows, we’ll take an optional (not included) helicopter flight to experience the grandeur of the Mont Blanc range from above, capturing unique perspectives of its snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and valleys.

In the afternoon, after returning to Chamonix, we’ll hold a photo editing session. During this class, we’ll review the images taken so far, teaching advanced post-processing techniques to bring out the full potential of your photos.

DAY 7: Alps Photo Tour

On the next day of this Alps guided photo tour, we will wake up early to shoot the sunrise at one of the most extraordinary gems of the French Alps: Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval.

We will spend the morning exploring different views in the area and taking a scenic hike to some locations that look like straight out of a Lord of the Rings scene. In this valley, up to 30 waterfalls are flowing from the tops of the mountains, some of which are among the most photogenic in Europe.

At the end of this hike, there will be an option to take the last steepest part and reach an upper spot where you can overlook the entire valley. The total walking distance and elevation are described in the hiking section below.

After shooting the sunset in the area, we’ll drive back to Chamonix for our farewell dinner.

DAY 8: Alps Photo Tour

After breakfast, we will pack up and drive back to Géneve International Airport, where we will wrap up this photo adventure across the Swiss and French Alps. Expect to be at the airport no earlier than 11:00 AM, so you can take flights that leave at 2:00 PM or later.

We’ll have a professional and accredited driver who is experienced in navigating the roads in the Alps.

Hiking

On this trip, most of the locations are next to the parking lot or the cable car station.

Money

The currency in Switzerland is the Swiss Franc (CHF). In France, it is the Euro (EUR). We recommend getting CHF and EUR in your home country, although, if that is not possible, you can always purchase some at Géneve Airport.

In almost 100% of places in the Alps, you can pay by credit or debit card, so you won’t need much cash for the trip.

Documentation

Please check if you need a visa to visit Switzerland and France. Both countries are part of the Schengen Area. We can help you with this process.

What expenses should you consider for this Alps Photo Tour?

Flights

You should book your flight to Geneva International Airport (GVA).

The price of round-trip flights to Geneva from Europe is $200-250 USD, and from the US, it’s approximately $500-800 USD

We recommend this article to find the best flights to Venice Airport from your current location.

Meals

Meals are not included, except for breakfast at the hotels. Most days, we will have breakfast at our accommodation and have a big dinner in one of the local restaurants.

During the day, we will eat snacks and picnic to maximize our time for photography.

Supermarkets and restaurants aren’t cheap in Switzerland, so we recommend preparing to spend about $60-$80 USD on food per day.

Parking and Cable Car Fees

All the parking, tolls, cable car, railway, and funicular fees for locations such as First, Zermatt, Gornergrat, Wengen, Oeschinensee, Aletschgletscher, and Aiguille du Midi are included in the price of the tour.

The only activity not included are the optional helicopter flights if conditions and visibility are good.

Optional Heli Flights

Taking a heli flight in the Swiss Alps is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The mountains, glaciers, and vast landscapes are simply breathtaking from the air. These flights allow you to take in the views but also to capture unique angles that are not possible from the ground or even with drones.

If conditions allow, we will take two flights in Lauterbrunnen and Zermatt, the two most impressive alpine areas in Switzerland.

The duration of these flights is around 45 minutes and they are optional and not included activities. Flying always depends on the weather and availability. Some of these flights include short landings in glaciers, so you can also capture images from the ground.

The price depends on the location and total number of people, but it usually varies between 200 and 400 USD.

What makes this Alps Photo Tour unique?

Immersive

Our workshops are completely centered on photography: finding the best moments of light during and creating an intensive experience that is conducive to learning and taking the best images.

Intimate

Our workshops are limited to small groups with a ratio of no more than six students per instructor. This is also an important factor for providing the attentive instruction you need during the tour.

Exclusive

During this workshop, we will photograph the famous locations in the Alps as well as some hidden gems that we have discovered while exploring in the past that are rarely visited or photographed.

Dedicated

We will discuss your goals before the tour so we can create a dedicated instruction plan for you. It doesn’t matter your age or skills; we will design your plan and provide you with materials before, during, and after the workshop so the learning process is not limited to just the tour.

Proven

We have spent years designing national and international photo tours with successful results, helping photographers with everything from the simple task of getting off Auto to the ambitious goal of capturing complex images. Dan’s online courses have also helped more than 400 photographers over the last few years.

Unforgettable

Beyond the photography, our photography workshops help build strong bonds that last forever. After our trip, you’ll feel like you have been with a group of friends rather than on a standard tour. We are thankful to have plenty of repeat clients who keep traveling and learning with us.

Frequently asked questions about our Swiss & French Alps Photo Tour

What level of photography knowledge should I have to attend this photo tour to the Alps?

Whether you are experienced or just starting out in photography, you are welcome to join us, and I am convinced that you will progress very fast. Together, we will get you back home with a greater and deeper knowledge of many photography topics.

Once you sign up for the workshop, we will discuss your skills and goals for this tour, and I’ll organize a teaching plan so you can make the most of this experience. You’ll also receive access to Dan’s Capture the Milky Way course so you can start preparing your astrophotography before the trip.

What physical shape do I need to be in?

Most locations are a relatively short walk from the parking lot. The longest hike we will do will be in Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval: a 2-hour walk from the parking lot and another 2 hours back, stopping in some spots along the way. The hikes to some locations, such as Bachalpsee Lake, take about 1.5 hours, and many other locations are next to the cable car station or parking lot. All hikes are moderate, with some gradual elevation gain. We do recommend checking the hiking section for more details.

Am I too young/old for this Alps photo tour?

There is no age limit. This trip is perfect for anyone over 18 years old who wants to photograph the Alps with us.

Can my non-photographer companion join us on the tour?

Non-photographer companions are welcome to join the tour, and they need to book a spot under the same price and conditions as any other participant. (We don’t allow non-participant companions tagging along with the group). We have had plenty of non-photographer companions over the years and all of them enjoyed an amazing experience. As long as they enjoy nature, beautiful landscapes, and are a bit patient with the schedules of a photo tour, joining the trip can be a great experience regardless of the shooting.

Can I use my drone?

Capture the Atlas is drone-friendly. Both tour leaders are experienced drone pilots and can help you with your drone photography.

We will advise you on the areas where you are allowed to fly and show you the best aerial photography techniques.

Our Happy Students!

Dan Zafra and David Aguilar did an exceptional job, everything from the organization and itinerary details to the photography locations was well planned. Both of them have very advanced knowledge in handling photographic equipment, composition, editing, and most importantly, the patience to transmit their knowledge to each participant. If you love landscape photography, this is the best photo tour. It was also a very good opportunity to learn more about some parts of Switzerland-France and have a very pleasant time with people of different nationalities. I highly recommend the Capture the Atlas programs
