On the most popular route to Mont Blanc, the Dôme du Goûter (4,304 m) stands out like a vast snow cap, offering a gentle transition between the Goûter refuge and the Bosses ridge. Yet beneath its tranquil slopes, it's the high mountains that express themselves, between icy couloirs and unpredictable storms. From its summit, the view extends to the neighbouring peaks, reminding us of the road already travelled and the one still to be climbed.
Thomas Crauwels sees the Dôme du Goûter as an opportunity to celebrate the more "accessible" dimension of Mont Blanc, without overlooking its wild character. In his shots, he reveals the beauty of a sunrise that bathes the snow in a delicate pink, the apparent serenity of this immaculate dome, and the reassuring presence, far below, of the refuge. In this gallery, altitude becomes an inner dialogue, where the observer feels the full majesty and fragility of the mountain.
