Ludwigshöhe
Perched in the heart of Monte Rosa, at the convergence of Switzerland and Italy, Ludwigshöhe (4,343 m) unveils itself as an all-round summit , where the snow seems to curl into delicate curves. Often overshadowed by the notoriety of its neighbors, it nevertheless delights those who venture there, offering a relatively easy ascent and a striking panorama over the string of surrounding peaks.
Thomas Crauwels sees the Ludwigshöhe as a haven of alpine serenity. Here, there are no vertiginous walls or abrupt pillars, but a gentle harmony between snow and rock that is no less demanding. Under his lens, the mountains come alive with the rhythm of ever-changing light, giving life to soothing or dramatic tableaux depending on the time of day. From dawn to evening clouds, each shot pays tribute to the silent grace of the Ludwigshöhe.
Beyond its accessible ascent, this summit reveals itself to be a space of communion with nature, where time seems to slow down and the infinite to be contemplated. Through this gallery, Thomas invites us all to reconsider the notion of verticality: sometimes, the softness and intimacy of a summit is worth as much as the harshness of a sharp edge.
