Pollux
Not far from the Castor, the Pollux (4,089 m) rises elegantly among the peaks of the Zermatt valley, forming with its "twin" a duo of legendary summits in the heart of the Valais Alps. Accessible without being trivial, Pollux is just as much for mountaineers in search of their first 4000 m as it is for high-mountain enthusiasts eager to discover a breathtaking panorama. Between Switzerland and Italy, its snow-covered flanks and rocky ridges offer breathtaking views of the sparkling glaciers of Mont Rose and the inimitable silhouette of the Matterhorn.
For Thomas Crauwelsthe Pollux is much more than a secondary summit : it's a muse, a horizon where the light draws subtle reflections on the snow, where the wind sculpts the ice and rock in a silent ballet. It exudes a special atmosphere, blending the gentleness of rolling slopes with the strength of ridges, reminding us that beauty lies in the delicate balance between challenge and serenity. Through his work, Thomas captures that suspended moment when, in the face of immensity, we feel a profound sense of humility.
Le Pollux embodies the promise of an accessible adventure, but also the discovery of a wider dimension, made up of contemplation and respect for these highlands. At every sunrise, it rises like a call to escape, inviting travelers to boldly head for the summit to savor the magic of the Valais Alps.
