Overlooking the Zermatt valley, the Breithorn range unfurls like an Alpine rampart, made up of five summits topping 4,000 metres. Linked by snow-capped ridges and glistening glaciers, these peaks stretch between Switzerland and Italy, offering a spectacle that is both grandiose on the Zermatt side and soothing on the Val d'Ayas side. Dominated by the West Breithorn (4,160 m), the highest in the series, this summit is distinguished by its summit composed of an evolving glacier...
Under the lens of Thomas Crauwelsthe Breithorn range reveals all the poetry of its lines. The light, so ever-changing in this Alpine mecca, sculpts the facades of snow and ice, revealing in turn the strength of its cliffs and the softness of its curves. The result is a living fresco, in which each summit - from the central Breithorn to the Oriental, via the Breithornzwillinge, Gendarme and Roccia Nera - tells its own story, a tale of altitude and immaculate silence.
These summits form a world of their own, nestled between the Matterhorn and the Mont-Rose massif. Each ascent, each shot, becomes an invitation to contemplation: to an encounter with a powerful, timeless nature, where grandeur and serenity meet at the summit. Through his work, Thomas Crauwels shares this rare emotion with us, inviting us to gaze in wonder at the ballet of suspended peaks and glaciers.
