Melody Sky Photography and Basecamp Events have created this very special mountain photography course that promises maximum adventure with minimum effort and impact.You’ll arrive at a fully equipped camp, with all equipment provided, meaning you can concentrate on capturing awe-inspiring images while we take care of the rest.
Experience the magical mix of sunrise, sunset and night sky, as well as biking, hiking and other outdoor sports at our exclusive Verbier camp. Surrounded by the Corbassiere glacier descending from the Grand Combin, the impressive Massif du Mont Blanc and the recognisable shape of the Dents du Midi. Few rooms offer such a captivating view.
The top-of-the-range camp guarantees a seamless and refined experience from start to finish. We take care of every detail, setting up the camp to perfection before you arrive. You’ll be greeted with welcome drinks and canapés, allowing you to spend unforgettable evenings photographing the night sky above the high peaks. The culinary experience will rival that of a renowned mountain restaurant, with sumptuous meals served in breathtaking natural surroundings.
This camp is aimed at people who want access to high mountain areas that are not usually accessible at night. What’s more, Swiss camping regulations are very strict. But we have special authorisations to camp on our sites. An experience not to be missed!
Responsibility –
We understand the challenges of organising such a remarkable experience and have assembled a well-equipped team to overcome any obstacles. We’re making sure everything is local and sustainable.
We work with local communities and use locally sourced products and resources for activities and culinary offerings, which encourages cultural immersion.
We attach the utmost importance to preserving the environment, leaving our campsites in pristine condition, as if they had not been touched by our presence.
We offer participants an unrivalled experience, both in terms of activities and life at the base camp, fostering a sense of camaraderie and adventure.
We create jobs by using local people and resources for activities and cooking.
We use recycled crockery.
We provide all camping equipment, so the customer does not need to own or buy any for this experience.
We’ve teamed up with people who share our values of sustainability, such as Hôtel de Verbier (our accommodation partner) and Cirkel Supply (our equipment hire partner).

In Verbier, at an altitude of 2200 metres, during the summer season the weather is warmer, but remains cooler than at lower altitudes.
