"Eidgenössisches Schwing- und Älplerfest" (since 2004)
As a neutral image agency without commercial sales to media sources, swiss-image.ch is predestined to organize official image services for large Swiss festivals. Since the early 2000s, we have photographed the largest Swiss event, the Eidgenössische Schwing- und Älplerfest, in Lucerne, Aarau, Frauenfeld and Burgdorf. We will also be the official image agency for the event in Estavayer-le-Lac in 2016. Other federal events we cover include the festivals of the Eidg. Jodlerverband (Federal Yodelling Association) and the Eidg. Musikverband (Federal Music Association). Professional photographers, modern technology and experience from nearly 1,200 events guarantee that we cover all imaging needs at minimal staff cost. Excellent photos are the basis for our successful work for these federal events. Gripping action shots are just as vital as close-ups of disappointed favorites or impressive details from the festival grounds. LiveImage gives our editors real-time access to current images, which is especially important for the final run. In Estavayer-le-Lac, our images are not just for the media. The audience and online Schwinger friends will also be able to see our images on their web devices. LiveSlideshows and LiveGalleries offer the best images. This will be the first ESAF, where fans can share their favorite images straight from the LiveGallery.

Jungfrau Marathon (since 2004)
International marathon runners all agree: The Jungfrau Marathon is the world’s most beautiful marathon. The participant limit of 4,000 is normally reached half a year ahead of the marathon, which takes place in September. Those lucky enough to get a spot anticipate the run from Interlaken to the Kleine Scheidegg pass at the foot of Mount Eiger, Mount Mönch and Mount Jungfrau. LiveImage has transformed this mountain marathon into a show run. Swisscom supplies the entire trail with high-speed LTE wireless access, including the moraine below the eternal glacier. The photos of the aching runners, slowly trotting up the small path in a row, reach the editors in Davos in less than five seconds. A few moments later, the marathon photos can be viewed on screens inside the festival tent or in the hotels of Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen or Wengen. Family members of the runners can view the best moments of the Jungfrau Marathon in the LiveGallery on their mobile phones. Swiss-image.ch encourages direct sharing of images on Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest. Because at some point soon the images will reach more people through social networks than through Swiss newspaper photos. Viral image communication will grow. By the way: We are constantly expanding our image service for the press at the Jungfrau Marathon. Our image service covers all types of image distribution and usage. This distinguishes swiss-image.ch from other image agencies.
