This magnificent panoramic photograph features the most famous 4,000-metre peaks summits in the Valais Alps, Switzerland. Seen from the Val d'Hérens, the Matterhorn stands out from the landscape like an immense pyramid of rock and ice at the heart of a natural fortress. The Zmutt ridge, difficult to climb, is highlighted here. On the right, the Lion ridge provides access from Cervinia, Italy, to summit . In the background, the high mountains of the Monte Rosa massif, veritable defensive towers, seem to protect the Matterhorn king. On the right, the The Dent d'Hérens stands out from the picture. Finally, in the foreground, the Tête Blanche is revealed, the last summit of the high route linking Chamonix to Zermatt via the glaciers.

Viewed from the west, the Matterhorn reveals its least known yet most aesthetically pleasing profile. There is no easy way to reach this viewpoint, no ski lift, no nearby village. Raw and solitary, the mountain distances itself from our world. Each peak in this panorama is a gem that is earned. To reach such altitudes, a first day of approach is necessary. It is only on the second day that the encounter can take place. Tête Blanche, Dent d'Hérens, Castor, Pointe Dufour, Nordend, and of course the Matterhorn, unfold their infinite presence at the heart of the wild Alps. This is what I love so much in this work. The beauty of a celestial, pure, and intense universe, where nature reigns supreme.

In creating this work, I wanted to highlight the alignment of summits. I waited for the conditions I hold so dear to my heart to come together: the gentle interplay of light and shadow, the snow freshly deposited by the storm on the rock faces and the elegant dance of the last clouds between the summits. In this almost unreal picture, the softness of the contrasts sublimates the disproportionate power of the highest Alpine summits .
