First snows on the famous Imperial Crown of Zinal, which reigns over the Valais region of Switzerland. This jewel of the Alps is made up of five summits peaks over 4,000 metres in altitude: the Weisshorn, the Zinalrothorn, theObergabelhorn, the Matterhorn and the Dent Blanche. I took this photograph from Crans-Montana, as this angle offers a spectacular panoramic view of this impressive high mountain massif. Bringing together the most beautiful summits of the Alps, the work will sparkle in the eyes of mountain lovers and thrill the hearts of all those who, like me, have one day climbed these magnificent summits . May this panorama remind me of wonderful adventures and invite me on future journeys!

It took a lot of luck and patience to capture this exceptional moment. Autumn light illuminates the northern faces of the mountains for a few more days. The snow begins to whiten the high summits and progresses along their flanks, gradually revealing the winter face of these legendary mountains. New textures appear. The play of contrasts, between light and shadow, enriches the photograph with a bewitching depth. In the distance, a cloud front appears, materialized by an incredible white line that seems to pierce the sky through summits. The balance is perfect. The grandeur and purity of these mountains, emblematic of the Swiss Alps, shine like diamonds in a white-lit crown. A unique, fleeting moment you'll never forget.
