A fascinating portrait of Piz Roseg, one of the most beautiful mountains in the Bernina massif in the Swiss Engadine. In the background, the lower Italian summits reinforce the presence of summit, which rises to 3935 metres above the Val de Roseg. In this aerial photograph, we are flying over its north-east face, whose impressive verticality inspires the world's best steep-slope skiers. At its foot lies the magnificent Vadret-da-Tschierva hanging glacier. Sadly, this photograph testifies to the fragility of a disappearing ecosystem. The glaciers of Piz Roseg are shrinking daily, giving way to rocky outcrops. The irreversible melting of the ice is altering the mountain's appearance and endangering its equilibrium.

I took this aerial photograph in spring. The last stigmata of a storm, the winds continue to shake summit, an invincible colossus that defies the horizon. By immortalizing this grandiose panorama of the Swiss Alps, I wanted to highlight the incredible verticality of the massif and its exceptional strength. In tone and composition, the work embodies the striking aesthetics of summit. Marking the Italian-Swiss border with its titanic imprint, it points valiantly skywards.

At print in large format, the many details visible invite us to discover its suspended glacier, its steep walls and its ridge of ice on which the snow never ceases to be swept away. Violent winds leave no respite at summit, and it's not until summer that the snow finally clings to it. Here, the art of photography illuminates the splendor of a wilderness that only welcomes man's presence on fine days.
