Photography Workshops

Where: Cabane Mont Fort, Verbier
What: Perseids Meteor Shower
When: Mid August (Weather Dependent)

Each year the Perseids Meteor Shower graces our skies between July 17th and August 24th, with it’s peak being August 9th-13th. It is one of the brightest meteor showers and one I have found the most fun to photograph. Named after the constellation Perseus, it is made up of tiny space debris from the Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. At it’s peak one can see 60 to 100 meteors in an hour if in a dark place away from light pollution. 

Cabane Mont Fort
The Cabane Mont Fort is a mountain refuge nestled high up in the mountains above Verbier. It has the most spectacular panorama of the Swiss and French Alps and is a very practical, comfortable and beautiful base for evening. 

What’s included
Night sky and meteor photography guidance with Melody Sky, Sunrise Photo Session with Melody Sky, Introductory drink, cheese fondue, followed by dessert and coffee. Shared dormitory room in the cabane for 1 night. Basic breakfast of croissant, bread, tea and coffee on the following morning.
