What I found was that boston_jen may well be correct about where the chocolate task is located. Here is what I found:
the largest number (4) is in Basel
there are a few in Geneva (3)
there are many scattered all around Switzerland
there are none near Zermatt (the closest appears to be Nestle several hours away by train or car in Vevey)
there are 3 in Zurich and 3 in its suburbs, making it the highest concentration
I believe that based on this information, the pit stop for episode 10 is likely to be in the Zurich area or maybe the Geneva area. Basel is out due to the extra time to reach there and the plane schedules being inferior to Zurich.

Well, yes it could be any of those chocolate makers - but its probably Felchin, the chocolate maker I noted in my previous post. They are using their equipment... just saying...
Or you could just ignore what I posted and keep looking...

walking pneumonia,
I think you have got it! MAX FELCHLIN AG is located in Schwyz, a southern suburb of Zurich and on train lines. It is one of the 35 companies I indicated.
DrRox:
Felchlin has a school/location set up to give instructions to chefs from all over the world on pastries and deserts. This is set up for groups of up to 20 people. They also do a lot of work with moulds/molds.

According to SBB, it is approximately 1:15 to 1:30 hour/minutes from Schwyz to Zurich Airport, if they choose to have the Pit Stop in Schwyz. They could also have the pit stop in Zurich somewhere around some of the same architecture as in Vienna for the HD cameras.
raina:
I saw the Felchlin thing when I mentioned the chocolate warmer, but their facility didn't look anything like the photos we had. And you can buy the chocolate warmers http://www.scff.com/shop/product.php?productid=27442&cat=1268&page=1&js=n so I didn't think it was necessarily at their facility. But perhaps it is!

Crevasse Detour: Gary/Mallory, Kisha/Jen, Kent/Vyxsin
Rescue Detour: Zev/Justin, FT/BE

I was thinking that the crevasse detour IS the rescue detour...and the other is the "search" detour.
--- End quote ---
Probably just bad descriptions on my part.........they are both rescue detours.........one rescue from a crevasse and the other is rescue from avalanche...........no? The buried clue represents a buried person right?
caper:
Could the chocolate mold location be at: Teuscher Chocolates of Switzerland in Zurich: http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.teuscherhk.com%2Fabout%2Faboutus.htm&ei=vr25TbXVA8m2twfu9ojfBA&usg=AFQjCNGykFu6DXIvXWa4sIPw2LTvppukLA
