Alphubel
Perched between the valleys of Saas-Fee and Zermatt,Alphubel (4,206 m) rises like an immaculate dome from the very heart of the Mischabels chain. Often less publicized than its prestigious neighbors, it remains no less fascinating: its broad snowy summit seems to caress the sky, offering a striking contrast with the sharper edges of the surrounding peaks. Its slopes, gentle in places and steeper in others, are just as inviting for climbers seeking their first experience at 4,000 meters as they are for lovers of Alpine panoramas.
For Thomas CrauwelstheAlphubel is the meeting point between the apparent simplicity of a mountain and the subjugating power of high altitude. In his photographs, the light settles on the undulating curves of the snow, revealing a glacial universe in perpetual motion. At dawn, the summit takes on a rosy glow, while at dusk, it takes on golden reflections, like a cathedral of ice and silence dominating the valley.
Capturing theAlphubel means capturing the softness of a landscape that almost resembles a vast natural amphitheater, where the eye can take in all the surrounding summits at once, from the Dom to the Täschhorn, to the ridges looming towards Zermatt. Through his lens, Thomas Crauwels pays homage to this accessible yet profoundly inspiring mountain, reminding us that alpine beauty can take many forms: sometimes serene, sometimes grandiose, but always imbued with that irresistible call to the heights.

We enjoy it every day!
As former inhabitants of Zermatt, it's hard to forget the Matterhorn, even in a new environment of mountains and nature.we discovered this large photo of the Matterhorn in a gallery, so strong and intense, it was impossible to forget it........ It became obvious that it should adorn our new apartment as a centerpiece.What's more, we had a very sympathetic contact with the artist, who came himself to deliver his work.It's very appreciable and adds a dimension to the object, to know its creator, his passion, the conditions under which it was taken.The texture of the photo resembles a painting, the lights play on it, Next the hours. It seems alive. A real daily pleasure!

We were bowled over!
My wife and I are amazed at the quality of print and the rendering of this magnificent photo. We had waited many years to put a picture on this blank wall because we had never "flashed" on a piece of art. Now we've found it, and it fits in perfectly at the entrance to our apartment. What's more, it depicts 3 summits that are particularly close to our hearts: the Weisshorn, Dent Blanche and the Matterhorn - quite a symbol...
We'd like to thank you again for your impeccable service (rapid response to enquiries, hyper-realistic projection of the work on the photos of the wall beforehand). In short, we have nothing to complain about and look forward to seeing you at an opening.
