Nadelhorn
In the heart of the Valais, between the valleys of Saas-Fee and Zermatt, the Nadelgrat stands out as an elegant backbone of altitude. The Nadelhorn, the highest point of this mythical ridge, stretches its 4,327 metres (approx.) above the hanging glaciers, offering a panorama that oscillates between crystalline softness and the raw power of the high mountains. On the Saas-Fee side, its slopes glisten with eternal snow, while on the Zermatt horizon, the light shapes undulating reliefs on steeper slopes.
For Thomas Crauwelsthe Nadelhorn represents the perfect synthesis of the Nadelgrat, a place where verticality meets the relative ease of the normal route. This accessibility in no way detracts from the majesty of the summit : the ascent, often seen as a first step towards mastering high-mountain mountaineering, quickly becomes a journey of emotions and discovery. Behind every shot, Thomas captures the ephemeral beauty of a sunrise over these immaculate glaciers, the silent echo of a steep ridge, or the purity of a moment suspended above the valleys.
The Nadelhorn is much more than a summit : it's a must for anyone wishing to experience the symbiosis of ice, rock and sky. It invites contemplation and exploration, in a subtle harmony where the mountaineer's effort meets the serenity of the panorama. Through his lens, Thomas Crauwels reveals the many faces of this mountain, from the sparkling delicacy of its snow-covered flanks to the serene strength of its ridge, a living testimony to the power and grace of the Valais Alps.

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.
