Aerial Imagery Switzerland - Tourism

Parhelion can provide drone aerial imagery of Switzerland for the tourism industry .

The beauty of the mountains, towns and villages of Switzerland are ideally captured in aerial imagery. The chief reason for this is that, from the air, the features of a given place are better seen in relation to their setting, which, in Switzerland, is often spectacular. Such an advantage has clear value to the tourism industry. Parhelion provides a custom drone service that will bring your tourism location the attention that it deserves. We will capture that enticing ‘view from above’ that allows potential visitors a fresh, eye-catching perspective, and that places your site in its proper surroundings.

The traditional process for acquiring such imagery involved leasing an airplane or helicopter and its crew, and hiring a photographer or videographer. This presents you with certain problems: it is time consuming to arrange the flights and to coordinate personnel, and of course very expensive. We solve those problems for you in an easy, reliable way. The advanced drone technology that Parhelion  uses will acquire the imagery you require at a fraction of the cost of using traditional aircraft, and is arranged with us with ease. By using Parhelion you save money, time and effort, and still receive the professional-quality aerial imagery that you require.

The value of aerial imagery (both photos and video) to the global tourism industry cannot be overstated. From online searches of places to go, to advertising in travel publications, to providing travellers with a ‘heads-up’ about what is wonderful in a given area or at a venue, the view from above can be both impressive and informative. Whether it be cities, castles, natural parks and peaks, ski locations or mountain climbing opportunities, if you have a location to draw people to visit or an event to attend you will want to augment your advertising with aerial shots that get attention and illustrate why it’s wonderful to be there.

About aerial photography, in particular:

At Parhelion, we provide drone aerial photography at 20.8 MP, in either 4:3 (dimensions 5280 x 3956 px) or 16:9 (dimensions 5280 x 2970 px) aspect ratios (photos can be cropped to your requirements, of course). Such photographs are suitable for every type of use, from website imagery to advertising campaign illustrations to blow-up prints for your boardroom wall. The list of marketing uses of aerial imagery for tourism in Switzerland is limited only by your imagination.

About aerial videography, in particular:

The use of aerial video of Switzerland in marketing for the global tourism industry is important and growing more so every day. Many of the same value considerations that were stated above apply to videography; however with the added power that life and motion bring to catching attention and telling a story. The video of a given site or venue is your voice, telling the story that you want to tell.

The impact of such imagery on marketing is difficult to overestimate. The flying camera can move around the property, building, site or venue, both inside and outside. This provides the prospective visitor with a viewing that is at once an introduction to what it is like to be there in person and an opportunity to experience the location from heights that might otherwise be impossible for them when visiting the place on foot. This is especially valuable when prospective visitors live far from the location being marketed, as is often the case in Swiss tourism, which is frequently marketed to foreign visitors.

Parhelion provides you with top-quality professional grade video data. We fly the Inspire 2 professional-grade unmanned aircraft system with the X5S camera and a variety of high-quality Olympus and DJI lenses. All of our products can be color and exposure optimized and delivered to you ready to use. Video data are most commonly delivered as H.264, 4k Ultra-HD, but we can deliver Ultra-HD data up to 5.2K. Additionally, for those who require more post-processing flexibility we can supply un-colorized (D-Log), 10 bit, ProRes 422HQ data. Samples of our work are presented on this page; in fact, all of the images and video on all of the pages in this website are our own shots.
