Lac Retaud

Reflections & mountain lake

Lac Retaud

Access & season

From the Col du Pillon. In winter, use only open, marked winter routes.

Our photo idea

Choose a calm morning for reflections. Put the shoreline in the foreground and film a slow reveal of the lake.

Creux de Champ

Beneath the great cliffs

Creux de Champ

Access & season

Hike from Les Diablerets when paths are clear of snow. Stay on the marked route.

Our photo idea

A wide angle emphasises the mountain amphitheatre. A person on the trail adds scale without leaving the path.

Cascade du Dar

Flowing water

Cascade du Dar

Access & season

Walking access in the Pillon area, when the trail is open. The surroundings are wet: photograph from the path.

Our photo idea

Soft light or an overcast sky brings out the water. Try a vertical video with the waterfall’s natural sound.

Pyramides de gypse

Shapes & textures

Pyramides de gypse

Access & season

Near the Col de la Croix, while the road and paths are open. Do not climb these fragile formations.

Our photo idea

Side lighting reveals textures. Combine a wide view with a close-up for a photo carousel.

Glacier 3000 · Peak Walk

A bridge between peaks

Glacier 3000 · Peak Walk

Access & season

Paid cable car from the Col du Pillon; bridge access depends on weather and operations. Check the last descent.

Our photo idea

In clear weather, use the bridge’s lines to lead the eye. Shoot from permitted areas while keeping the passage clear.

Heritage & village atmosphere

Vers-l’Église

Access & season

Reach the village by train or road. Explore public spaces around the church and respect private property.

Our photo idea

Early or late light warms the façades. Try a vertical composition combining church tower, timber and mountains.

Ridgelines & alpine pastures

Col de la Croix

Access & season

Seasonal road access between Les Diablerets and Villars. The road closes in winter; check opening status.

Our photo idea

Early or late in the day, layer pastures and peaks. A slow pan works well for a short video.
