Private Photoshoot in Interlaken and Lake Thun
If you’re heading to the heart of Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland, a private photoshoot with a professional photographer might just be the perfect way to remember your trip. For around $348 per group (up to five people), you’ll spend approximately 90 minutes exploring some of the most scenic spots in Interlaken, Unterseen, and by Lake Thun, all while being guided by Erich Häsler. This experience combines stunning mountain backdrops with high-quality photography, all wrapped in a comfortable, emission-free Tesla Model X.
What we particularly love about this experience is the combination of professional-level photography with a personalized tour of the area’s most photogenic locations. Erich’s friendly approach and creative eye bring out the best in everyone, while the luxury transport makes it easy to hop from one viewpoint to the next without fatigue. A second feature that impresses is the quality of the photos — over 120 high-resolution images that you’ll receive via Dropbox after the shoot, perfect for printing or sharing online.
One consideration is that this experience lasts about an hour and a half, which might feel a bit quick if you’re hoping for a more extensive tour or multiple outfit changes. Also, the price might seem steep for some, but when you factor in the professionalism, personalized service, and high-quality photos, many will find it excellent value for a memorable keepsake.
This tour is ideal for couples, families, or small groups wanting high-quality photos in a beautiful setting. It’s especially suited for those who appreciate a personal touch and want to avoid generic tourist snapshots. If you love the idea of having your own professional photographer capture your Swiss adventure, this experience deserves serious consideration.

In-Depth Review of the Photoshoot Experience
What the Experience Looks Like
Your adventure begins at the meeting point on Höheweg, right in the heart of Interlaken, a spot that’s itself picturesque with the mountains looming nearby. From there, Erich will whisk you away in a sleek Tesla Model X, a vehicle that not only feels luxurious but also aligns with environmentally conscious travelers. The drive itself is part of the fun, giving you a chance to relax between photographic stops.
Over the next 90 minutes, Erich will guide you through some carefully chosen locations, balancing the need for stunning backdrops with practical considerations like lighting. The photos are taken with professional studio flash lighting, ensuring that even in less-than-perfect weather, your images will look sharp and vibrant. Locations include the charming old town of Unterseen, with its cobbled streets and traditional Swiss architecture, and scenic spots along Lake Thun, offering reflections of the mountains and water.
What Makes the Locations Special
The old town of Unterseen is a favorite among many, with its historic charm providing a timeless setting that contrasts beautifully with the imposing peaks of the surrounding mountains. The photos here often feature quaint buildings, cobblestone streets, and lush greenery, giving your pictures a romantic, storybook feel.
By Lake Thun, you’ll find a more open, panoramic setting where the mountains seem to rise directly from the water’s edge. These locations are perfect for capturing that classic Swiss postcard shot, with reflections on the lake and the craggy peaks in the background.
The Quality of the Photos and the Service
Feedback from previous clients highlights their satisfaction with both the professionalism of Erich and the quality of the images. One reviewer, Alicia, mentioned, “Great pictures of our family of four. Erich took us to several great locations in the area and also provided some great information.” That personal touch, combined with the technical expertise, makes this a standout experience.
The photos are delivered via Dropbox, making it easy to download and share. With over 120 images at a high resolution, you’ll have plenty of options for prints, albums, or digital sharing. The images are shot with top-notch equipment, ensuring they’re crisp and detailed.
