  Hello,

  A client of mine is looking to do a 7 day shoot in August for a winter catalog that requires a snowy, wintery location with the feel of a Scandanavian mountain/forest/small village. I’ve posted some reference images below.

  Preferably in Western Europe or North/South America.

  Some pictures, info on exact locations (for example: ____, Argentina as opposed to just Argentina), and local-production recommendations would be much appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Dear Zach,

  Hello Zach!

  I believe Bariloche is a sure bet for you to take. We have one of the best profiles for snow productions in the world thanks to the level of accesibility to locations and service infraestructure.

  We serve important commercial productions every winter, and August is indeed to sweet spot for the kind of setting you are looking for. We can offer a variety of coastal and fjord-like locations with forests and snow only minutes away from the hotel and even downtown Bariloche, plus other smaller localities in the area.

  You can step off the airplane and start scouting right away thanks to our international airport, only two hours from Buenos Aires.

  Hope this is useful! Please check:

  Hello Zach
  As many others here I recommend Argentina and/or Chile.
  August is snow high season in both countries and The Andes are a perfect landscape for what you’re looking for. As well as Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world.

  Our company has a big experience in this kind of projects, you can check our portfolio in our website. http://www.mondocine.com

  Do not hesitate in contacting us for more information

  Hi Zach,
  Have you considered the South Island of New Zealand as a possible location?
  August is mid winter here in New Zealand, much of the lower South Island is covered in snow at this time, we can offer picturesque alpine lakes and magnificent vistas.
  Please feel free to contact me with more information should New Zealand be of interest to you.
