Blick / The mountain rescuers of Air Zermatt

For Ringier, we flew with the Air Zermatt team to a real emergency. A very emotional experience, which also touches the viewers of the 360° report.

When every second counts: The rescuers of Air Zermatt experience a race for life and death every day. After the launch of the new VR App, Ringier wanted to provide its online users with another exciting documentary in the form of the 360° report from the Valais Alps.

All scenes of the tragic story are real; nothing is set: We were given the opportunity to accompany the rescuers of Air Zermatt on their missions: from the alarm at the headquarters to the departure of the helicopter to the rescue.

In order for the viewers to experience the adventure from different perspectives, some experience was needed for a shooting from a helicopter as well as in high alpine terrain.

The story suddenly took a dramatic turn. The tragic story can be experienced up close with the BlickVR App and touches the viewer on a highly emotional level.

The video was nominated for the Web video price Switzerland.
