The production of the intimate thriller series «Fairway» is currently underway, utilizing the landscapes of Lavaux and Valais, specifically Crans-Montana. Directed by Philippe Mermoud, a filmmaker originally from Sion, the project began filming on April 13 and is scheduled to continue through June 12.
A Narrative of Fragile Appearances
The series explores the complex dynamics of friendship and how appearances can both build and destroy personal bonds. The plot centers on Delphine, a successful novelist based in Paris, and her brother Julien, a real estate agent.
The siblings are invited to dinner by childhood friends Andrea and Simon, a charismatic couple residing in an upscale ski resort in the Valais Alps. While Andrea is a golf coach and former Swiss golf prospect, Simon is described as a powerful real estate agent.
Localized Traffic Disruptions
The filming schedule will necessitate a temporary road closure on May 9. The route des Sommets, specifically along Lake Grenon, will be closed to traffic from 13:00 to 15:00.
Security agents will be stationed on-site to manage the area. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and use alternative routes during this specific window.
As filming progresses toward its June 12 conclusion, further production needs could potentially lead to additional localized logistics or site requirements in the Valais and Lavaux regions.
