Schreckhorn
One of the most demanding summits in the bernese alps, the Schreckhorn (4,078 m) is the ultimate challenge for mountaineers in search of authentic adventure. Its name, which literally means "Horn of Terror", evokes both the awe and fear aroused by its sharp edges and dizzying faces. Nestled close to the iconic Eiger, it shares with the latter a fierce, untamed character, where every metre climbed seems to bring man closer to nature in its purest state.
For Thomas Crauwelsthe Schreckhorn is a hidden treasure of the bernese alps. In his photographs, the light dances on the gneiss and ice walls, bringing out the unique aesthetics of this intimidating summit . There are no crowds or obvious routes here, just a climb whose difficulty reinforces the raw beauty of the alpine setting. To capture the Schreckhorn is to plunge into a quest for the perfect moment, where perseverance meets emotion, and where each shot bears witness to the strength and vulnerability of this mineral cathedral.
Through his lens, Thomas immortalizes the wild aura of the Schreckhorn, revealing a world of silence and shifting shadows, a realm where the power of the elements is intensely felt. More than a summit to climb, the Schreckhorn embodies the very idea of inner adventure, of the effort that transcends man in his relationship with the mountains. Beyond its technical prowess, it is a reminder that true greatness is born of contemplation and respect for nature, which for millennia has shaped these places of wonder.

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.

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!
