Obergabelhorn and the Matterhorn rise at the dawn of autumn. Their peaks echo across the skies of the Swiss Valais, between val d’Anniviers and the Zermatt valley. The duality of an invulnerable, fairytale world, as black echoes white, and omnipotence echoes delicacy. The photograph reveals the mountains reborn, blazing under the first rays of the sun.

Caressing their lines of light and shadow, our gaze takes flight. Climbing theObergabelhorn via theArbengrat or the Way of the Heart, climbing the Matterhorn via the Zmutt ridge or the Way of the Lion. How could we not dream of one day joining them at summit ? Muses of the mountaineer, these mountains inspire me and bring back so many fabulous memories.

I love the alignment of their features, like two millennia-old creatures joining forces. I love the balance born of their complicity, the deep contrasts Soft that give substance to their beauty. There's no need to force the issue to honor the mountains, which are so large and vigorous by nature. Look at the purity of its walls, just reshaped by the storm. See how the sky reflects its brilliance on the snow and ice that cover its rocks. These incredible glaciers, into the heart of which our minds plunge irresistibly. Their bewitching yet merciless crevasses, their fascinating yet fearsome rimayes. All the history and wild, unyielding temperament ofObergabelhorn and the Matterhorn come to the fore in this photographic work.
