A grandiose portrait of two iconic peaks in Switzerland's Valais Alps. In the foreground is the Obergabelhorn, now famous to the general public thanks to Swiss skier Jérémie Heitz. This peak, over 4,000 metres high, is one of the mountains he tackled in his documentary film La Liste, highlighting the practice of steep skiing. In the background is the mythical and majestic Matterhorn. Three of its ridges are visible: the Hörnli ridge on the left, the Zmutt ridge on the right and the Lion ridge in the background.

On the same photograph, I wanted to bring together two of my favorite summits peaks. Their northern faces are among the most beautiful in the Alps. I took this aerial view at sunrise, just after the passage of a snowstorm. The mountains are adorned in white, giving the image an impression of eternal celestial purity. It's a fleeting illusion, however, because within minutes, the heat of the sun affects the snow, irreversibly altering the way it reflects light.

I had to wait several years before I could capture these incredible peaks. There had to be enough snow covering their faces. Also, to perfect the scene, a sea of clouds needed to separate the two mountains. It covers the Zermatt valley here. In this work, I sought to sublime the power of these sumptuous monuments of rock and ice. I also aimed to achieve a perfect alignment of their summits. One then realizes the grandeur of the Matterhorn compared to the Obergabelhorn, which is 400 meters shorter than its illustrious neighbor. I was fortunate enough to climb these two mountains via their normal routes. Since then, my level in mountaineering has greatly improved. I now plan to reach their summits via their other, more complex ridges. So, wish me luck!
