SWITZERLAND AT NIGHT
From the Engadin to Lake Geneva, we explore night-time Switzerland on a fascinating journey from dusk to dawn. An outstanding series full of fascinating stories and spectacular aerial shots.
Watching from above, a unique spectacle of light and darkness starts after the sun has set. This three-part documentary series shows stunning aerial shots of Switzerland at night and tells stories that are only possible under the veil of darkness. Spectacular footage allows us to observe nocturnal life during the different seasons. In the first episode, a full moon illuminates the snow-capped peaks of the Alps on an enchanting winter's journey from the Engadin to Lake Geneva. We accompany night-time ski tours, military trainee schools and dogsled races. The second episode takes us from the dolce vita of Ticino to the business and cultural centres in Basel's border triangle. We peek over the shoulders of border guards, bakers and bat researchers. In episode three, our flight across night-time Switzerland continues from the shores of Lake Constance via Zurich to French-speaking western Switzerland. There, we watch insect researchers, railway workers and street artists. These stories of night workers are paired with spectacular aerial shots of places we've heard about but never seen. An outstanding series full of fascinating stories and magnificent pictures.
