What is a photo trip with Swiss Photo Club?

What makes a Swiss Photo Club photo trip different from an ordinary group tour? Everything revolves around photography. You travel in a small group of 7 to 14 participants, accompanied by an experienced travel photographer who knows every destination personally.

We shoot at the best times of day — at sunrise, during golden hour and blue hour. While other tour groups head out at midday, we use the perfect light for spectacular shots. On location, you receive composition workshops and individual feedback on your photos.

Accommodation, local transport and all workshops are typically included. Whether landscape, street, wildlife or astrophotography — we offer photo trips for every interest and every experience level.

Best time for a photo trip

The best time to travel depends on your destination and preferred photography style:

  • Morocco: October to April — mild climate, soft desert light over the Sahara
  • Iceland: September to March for northern lights, June to August for midnight sun
  • Lofoten (Norway): February to March for snow and aurora, June to July for midnight sun
  • Nepal: October to November and March to April — clear views of Himalayan peaks
  • Cappadocia: April to June and September to November — ideal light for hot air balloons
  • Tuscany: April to June and September to October — soft light, green hills

All our photo trips are planned to ensure you experience the best lighting and photography conditions on location.

Want to sharpen your skills before you travel? Explore our photography courses for all levels. And after your trip, enter our photo competitions with gallery exhibitions with your best shots.
