Finsteraarhorn
In the Alpine world, the Finsteraarhorn stands as the absolute master of the bernese alps, culminating at 4,274 metres. Its unique profile, tapered like an arrow of rock and ice, stands out against the horizon. A veritable "pyramid" of the bernese alps, it seems to skim the sky, inviting everyone to contemplate its fierce elegance and feel the call of its verticality.
At the dawn of spring, when the snow is milder, the Finsteraarhorn welcomes ski touring enthusiasts to its slopes, to enjoy its majestic face and the exhilaration of an authentic alpine ascent. This dash to the summit is both a sporting challenge and an aesthetic pilgrimage, where the morning light caresses the snow-covered ridges and reveals an unparalleled perspective of the BerneseOberland .
For Thomas Crauwelsthe Finsteraarhorn is much more than a summit : it's a natural monument that stimulates creativity and the quest for rare images. In his photographs, the momentum of the pyramid and the purity of the snow unite in a picture of intense contrasts. Each shot tells the story of a mountain sculpted by time and weather, and the intimate fascination it holds for the mountaineer and the dreamer. Under Thomas's lens, the Finsteraarhorn becomes an ode to the brute force of nature, a sanctuary suspended between heaven and earth, where the passion of the high mountains blossoms in all its splendor.
