Täschhorn
Between the valleys of Saas-Fee and Zermatt, the Täschhorn (4,491 m) stands like a discreet titan, often overshadowed by its neighbor the Dom. And yet it has a unique stature: its tapering edges and austere flanks bear witness to the raw strength of the Valais Alps. In this grandiose setting, verticality becomes art, with every snowy couloir and rock face becoming the stage for a face-off between man and mountain.
For Thomas Crauwelsthe Täschhorn embodies absolute adventure. Rarely climbed, it offers mountaineers and photographers a sense of solitude and humility, far removed from crowded itineraries. Its suspended faces, alternately caressed by the light of dawn or plunged into the half-light of dusk, reveal an infinite palette of nuances. Each expedition is an inner journey, where patience and passion combine to capture the fleeting moment when the mountain reveals itself in all its splendor.
Through Thomas's lens, the Täschhorn becomes a hymn to the authenticity of high summits : a place of challenge and contemplation, where effort is never dissociated from emotion. It is in this contrast between the grandeur of the massif and the fragility of the mountaineer that the poetry of the Täschhorn emerges: a mountain that, far from the fame of the surrounding stars, nonetheless nourishes the dreams of those who dare to venture there, eager for encounters with the inaccessible.
