In the Valais Alps, the Wellenkuppe reveals its mysterious personality at an altitude of 3,900 metres. This summit, sometimes considered secondary to theObergabelhorn, reveals its authentic character here, with its characteristic snow cap topping the summit.

This ice cap creates a striking contrast with the dark rock faces plunging towards the surrounding glaciers. The Wellenkuppe dominates the Gabelhorn glacier to the south and the Trift glacier to the east, while to the west it serves as a normal access route to theObergabelhorn .

The mystical atmosphere of this photograph is created by the subtle interplay of light and shadow. Clouds caress the sides of the mountain, creating a theatrical atmosphere where the Wellenkuppe appears and disappears according to their whims. This perpetual dance transforms the landscape into a dreamlike vision.

Our eyes discover the perfect harmony between the elements: the dark rock at the base, the snow that delicately sprinkles the face, the shifting clouds and the immaculate ice cap that crowns the summit. Each texture tells its own story in this alpine symphony.

I captured the moment when the mountain reveals its true soul. The Wellenkuppe, far from being a simple summit on the way to theObergabelhorn, asserts its own beauty. This vision captures the essence of the Valais high mountains, where every summit deserves our attention and respect.
