Drone filming and aerial photography in Seefeld

A drone operator in Seefeld is a registered pilot who flies a camera drone to capture aerial photos and video of hotels, chalets, events and landscapes on the plateau, typically for a property listing, a tourism or brand film, or a wedding video. From the air, Seefeld’s layout makes sense at a glance: the village, the Wildsee, the meadows and the ring of mountains in one frame, which is why aerial shots often open a film.

On the plateau, protected land is part of every flight plan. The Wildmoos above Seefeld is a nature reserve, and the two aperiodic lakes there, the Wildmoossee and the Lottensee, only appear every few years after snowmelt and rain, sometimes for only a few weeks. Under section 21 of the Tyrolean Nature Conservation Act 2005, each nature reserve has its own ordinance listing what is restricted in it, so the operator checks that ordinance and the geo-zones in Austro Control’s Dronespace map before planning a take-off there. In the EU open category the drone stays within 120 metres of the ground, in sight of the pilot and away from crowds.

Location ideas in Seefeld

01
The village and the Wildsee
A rising shot from the lake to the church tower and the mountains behind sets the scene for any Seefeld film.
02
Wildmoossee when it appears
A rare subject: in years when the lake fills, it lies in a nature reserve, so take-off is planned from outside after checking the rules.
03
Hotels and chalets
Roofs, pools and gardens with the plateau behind, filmed from 30 to 80 metres for listings and websites.

Good to know

Send the exact address or a map pin at least two weeks ahead; the operator checks Dronespace geo-zones and whether the take-off point lies in a protected area.
The Wildmoossee and Lottensee are not there every year: ask the operator to check before a shoot is planned around them, as the tourism board advises for visitors.
Avoid event days such as the Nordic Combined Triple weekend or the Christmas market for open-air drone work: flights over gatherings of people are not allowed.

Can a drone fly over our wedding guests in Seefeld?
