A window onto the most beautiful summits of the Valais Alps, on the border between val d’Anniviers and the Zermatt valley. This panoramic black-and-white photograph will take you on a journey to the heart of the high mountains. Our journey begins in the foreground alongArbengrat and on Mont Durand. From the summit of the Matterhorn we reach the Dent d'HérensPointe de Zinal and Tête de Valpelline, before reaching Dent Blanche, on the right of the picture. High on the horizon, Gran Paradiso rises above Italy.

This grandiose panorama is made up of several shots assembled to offer you a work in ultra-high definition. A unique journey into the wilderness of nature. I waited a long time for this moment of grace. Those few blessed days in summer when the freshly snow-covered summits expose their northern slopes to the sun. That morning, as the sky cleared, the mountains breathed again after being battered by a storm.

At first light, they point their immaculate peaks skyward. I took this photograph as a raw portrait. Without clouds or embellishments, focused on the essential. Rock, snow and glaciers. The world above as it appeared to the men of old. Pure and masterful. A play of light and shadow sublimates its beauty. Like our lives, the work is a beacon of hope. Strong-willed and powerful, the mountains of the Valais Alps defy the sky and fight the winds. And from shadow to light, nature is reborn more beautiful than ever.
