Hello, we are Rasta and Sylvia Michel
My name is Sylvia Michel—I am a Swiss photographer and videographer, and I live in Brienz am See in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland.
For years, my white German Shepherd, Rasta, and I roamed Switzerland together to show the world the most beautiful places in our homeland. Rasta crossed the Rainbow Bridge on September 8, 2025 🙁 . We miss him dearly, but we know that we were able to give him the best life a dog could have.
Lil Rasta has been bringing joy to our lives since January. He’ll be following in Rasta’s big footsteps and will get to enjoy a wonderful dog’s life too! We’re looking forward to new adventures!
We are dedicated to Switzerland’s natural beauty. That’s why we spend as much time as possible outdoors. We also collaborate with various hotels, tourism organizations, and transportation companies. In addition, we offer private photo tours and provide personalized travel tips for the Bernese Oberland.
How can we help you? Drop me a line!
