Valais
Peak ecstasy
About the work
The thundering immensity of a world beyond our grasp. Behind Mont Blanc de Cheilon appears the Bertol hut, nestled in its eagle's nest. The only sign of human existence, with the Margherita hut enthroned on Pointe Gnifetti in the distance. The magic of high-definition photography, in which you discover new splendors at every glance.
I took this exceptional panorama at dawn. Just as the storm has plastered the mountains and the sun is shining on the glaciers. I wanted this luminous work to reveal the beauty of the western slopes of summits, still huddled in the shadows. Plunge your gaze into the heart of the mountains. The details of their snow-covered rocks reveal their history.
This is the perfect place to take an interminable run. A complete traverse of the Valais Alps. What a pleasure it is to wander so close to summits. Imagining future climbs and dreaming of fabulous journeys. I'm happy to share such a spectacle with you through my art.
