The 82,4000

In the heart of the Alps, where heaven and earth intertwine in a vertiginous embrace, stand 82 mythical summits , all topping 4000 meters. They form a string of giants stretching between France, Italy and Switzerland, shaping the collective imagination of mountaineers and dreamers for generations. From the Matterhorn to the Dent Blanche, from the Eiger to Mont Blanc, each peak bears the imprint of the men who climbed it and the legends that nurture it.

In this gallery, Thomas Crauwels reveals his deeply inspired eye, celebrating the diversity of these high places: from glacial slopes to tapering ridges, to mineral pyramids set against the sky. His photographs capture the fleeting moment when light caresses a serac, when a fleeting cloud embraces the rock, when silence reigns supreme in the immensity. Each shot is an invitation to feel the telluric force of the mountains, the power of a nature that is still sovereign, but also the serenity that altitude brings.

To explore this collection is to embark on a journey towards the inaccessible, to immerse oneself in a universe where effort meets pure beauty, where each summit - whether a famous colossus or a more confidential jewel - expresses a unique facet of Alpine majesty. The images reveal the artist's patience, passion and respect for these sacred sites, witnesses to the eternal dialogue between man and mountain.

Immerse yourself in the magic of these 82 4000 m summits , and let yourself be carried away by their history, their changing lights and the raw emotion they arouse. This gallery is a hymn to the grandeur of the Alps, a tribute to the moment when the eye, the heart and the mind become one, in boundless wonder.
