This movie shot in three different locations in Austria: Lake Altaussee, Obertilliach, and Sölden, the latter being the home of the Ice-Q restaurant, and the cable cars that feature in a tense sequence with Q. According to special effects supervisor Chris Corbould, the main action sequence in Austria proved to be very complicated, technically: "We had planes hanging on high wires coming down the valley approaching one of our villains and his men who are in Range Rovers. Then the plane wings hit a tree before it lands. It's going down the hill using its engines to propel itself, but it's on the ground. Hence, we built planes that had skidoos inside, so they are actually being driven." Corbould and his effects team used eight different planes that were involved in several separate rigs. Two of the planes could actually fly, while another two were fitted to the wire rig. Another four planes were carcasses fitted with hidden skidoos, which the stunt team could use to drive the plane down the mountainside, ensuring total control. Corbould adds: "It is a matter of getting the right vehicle for the right terrain, and incorporating it and hiding it inside the relevant vehicle. In Spectre (2015), our sequence sees the plane smash into a barn, and it explodes out the other end, dropping from twenty feet." When shooting this sequence, the Spectre (2015) team added 10 sheds and a barn to the area in which they filmed. Eight of the sheds were found in the local mountains nearby, and were bought and rebuilt on the set. A total of 20 miles of reclaimed wood siding was used to create the remaining sheds and the barn, through which the plane smashes. The biggest challenge in Austria, however, lay elsewhere. Corbould says: "Initially, in Austria, there was no ice or snow. All our preparations were delayed, and we had to travel quite a few miles to a different location to test the plane rigs and skidoos." So unseasonal was the weather in Austria, that the production had to make 400 tonnes of man-made snow to cover the hillside, which would normally be blanketed in white. Corbould concludes: "Austria was a full-on sequence."
