It’s one of those little extras that can turn a beautiful trip into a memory you’ll cherish forever.

What’s Included and Why It Matters

We loved how this experience isn’t just about snapping quick pictures but offers a complete, professional photo session. The images are taken by a real photographer (Erich Häsler), not just a tourist taking selfies, which really makes a difference in quality. The package includes more than 120 high-res images sent via Dropbox, giving you a treasure trove of memories to keep or print.

Having private transportation in a luxury Tesla Model X adds an extra layer of comfort and style. It also means you’re not darting from place to place on foot or in crowded buses, allowing for a relaxed pace and the opportunity to enjoy the scenery en route.

The tour starts at the convenient meeting point at Höheweg 37 in Interlaken, a central location close to public transportation. The session lasts about 1.5 hours—just enough time to visit a few key spots without feeling rushed. It’s a worthwhile investment if you want professional-quality photos that truly capture the essence of your trip.

The Itinerary: What to Expect

Once you meet your photographer, Erich, you’ll set off in a sleek, emission-free Tesla to explore some of the most photogenic locales. The locations vary but typically include the old town of Unterseen, which offers a charming mix of historic buildings and scenic alleys, perfect for capturing the local vibe.

Next, the tour moves to Lake Thun, where the reflections on the water paired with the backdrop of the Swiss mountains create a picture-perfect setting. The photos taken with professional studio flash lighting will give your images a polished, professional look—ideal for printing or sharing on social media.

Throughout the session, Erich’s friendly approach and creative direction help you feel relaxed, whether you’re a seasoned model or a bit camera-shy. The reviews highlight how well he demonstrates skill and adapts to the mood of the group, making the experience enjoyable for everyone.

You can expect a mix of candid shots and posed portraits, all under good lighting conditions that enhance your features and the scenery. If you’re interested, there’s an optional short film of about two minutes available for an extra CHF 120, adding a cinematic touch to your memories.

Value and Pricing: Is It Worth It?

At nearly $350 for a group of five, this isn’t the cheapest way to get photos, but it’s certainly a premium offering. You’re paying for professional quality, convenience, and personalized service. The high-resolution images (50Mpixel) and the fact that they’re delivered via Dropbox makes it easier to print or share your favorite shots later.

The reviews reinforce the value: Saurabh mentions that Erich’s skills and carefully chosen locations made for a great experience, while Alicia highlights how well the photos captured their family’s personality. For those who prioritize high-quality souvenirs of their trip, this is a solid investment.

The Experience from Our Perspective

We imagine that this experience would appeal most to travelers who already plan to visit Interlaken and want to take home more than just memories—they want stunning photos to relive it. The locations are chosen for their visual appeal, so expect iconic mountain views, charming streets, and tranquil lakescapes.

The 90-minute duration strikes a balance—long enough to get plenty of shots without feeling like a hurried photo shoot. Plus, the private nature of the tour means no awkward crowd photos or awkward photobombs. It’s just you, your loved ones, and a professional photographer capturing your best angles.

The convenience of being picked up in a luxury electric vehicle in the heart of Interlaken makes all the difference, especially after a day of sightseeing. It’s a smooth, hassle-free way to maximize your time and get the most out of your photo session.
