Matterhorn
A Pyramid to Heaven
About the work
In the crystalline light of winter dawn, the Matterhorn awakens. Its snow-covered east face sparkles, while on its wind-blown north face, light and shadow reveal the splendor of its craggy rock and the fragile brilliance of its finest glacier. Glimpsing the Hörnli refuge at the foot of its ridge, we can't help but reflect on our place in the world. What are we on Earth, insignificant turbulence, in the face of colossal, vigorous nature?
From summit , the Matterhorn takes us to the heights of the Alps. Its gigantic shadow engulfs the Tête de Valpelline. From the Dent d'Hérensour journey continues to Grand Combin via Mont Blanc, the mythical roof of Europe. It ends with the Aiguille Verte on the right.
In the midst of this exceptional panorama, we are no longer conscious of time or distance. Whereas a hike from Chamonix to Zermatt usually takes a week of effort, here the expedition takes place in the blink of an eye. Like the flight of a butterfly, our gaze takes flight at the summit of the Matterhorn, unshakeable lord, to embrace the most famous mountains of the Alps and the Valais.
