Zermatt offers the perfect backdrop to showcase the majestic Matterhorn, whether at night framed by a fantastic starry sky or as a reflection in one of the mountain lakes. Thanks to the excellent organisation, you spend the night very close to the photo spots and have relatively short distances - but due to the altitude, you should be in good physical condition. The workshop was also characterised by the small size of the group, which was accompanied by two professional photographers. Thank you for two very impressive days.
After a few months in which my camera lay almost unused in the cupboard, I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Zermatt workshop with Amazing Views. Jennifer and Mel's kind and helpful manner, the spectacular surroundings and the great motifs made this workshop a great experience for me, from which I took away and learnt a lot. I really liked the fact that the workshop was very comprehensive, covering everything from camera settings and the use of filters, landscape photography and night photography to RAW development and image editing. Mel and Jenny were always on hand with an open ear and help and advice. They were intensive and incredibly instructive days in beautiful surroundings, from which I learnt a lot and hope to see you at a workshop again soon.
I really enjoyed the photo workshop in Zermatt. Everything was well organised and you were very helpful with any questions or problems. The group was harmonious and a pleasant size. Unfortunately, the weather did not quite meet our expectations, but we now have the tools for another time on our own. We would love to do it again another time.
After the individual journey we meet at noon in Zermatt. After a small introduction with theory in the early afternoon, we will travel by train directly to the mountains to our first accommodation. After the early supper, we head out to take great shots at sunset, dawn, and night. If the sky is clear, we can capture fantastic photos of the night sky with the Milky Way.
Today we set off before sunrise in order to be in the right place at the right time. After an extensive photo session in the best light, we head back to the hotel to get some strength from the breakfast. Then we head out to our next accommodation. In the early afternoon there is an image editing workshop.
This afternoon resp. evening, we want to capture our dream photos again. If we are lucky and the weather is favourable, we can capture fantastic pictures of the Matterhorn reflected in the lake. Later, we want to photograph the imposing night sky again.
We get up early and make our way to our photo location before sunrise. We shoot in the best light again before we go back to the accommodation for breakfast.
Mid-morning we take the train back to Zermatt, where the photo workshop officially ends.

This workshop is aimed at beginners with basic knowledge (you know where to adjust aperture, time and ISO) as well as advanced photographers. We hike with the photographic equipment on the two days in each case about 2 to 4 hours. This workshop involves moderate walking on hiking trails. A moderate level of fitness is required on this tour.
Zermatt is a car-free town. By car you have to drive to Täsch (parking available). From Täsch, the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn takes guests to Zermatt every 20 minutes.
For our group, enough double rooms are reserved. You can choose your preferred accommodation type when registering for the tour. Single rooms are limited.
The weather can change rapidly in the mountains. Therefore bring suitable clothing, preferably in the onion principle including rain jacket/trousers and good, robust hiking boots.
This workshop takes place in any weather. Even if the weather is cloudy or rainy, there are often exciting motifs to photograph. In case of bad weather we will put more emphasis on theory. For the possible photography of natural phenomena like the starry sky, appropriate weather (e.g. clear sky) is a prerequisite. This cannot be guaranteed.
