Nestled in the heart of the bernese alps, linked to the Schreckhorn by a vertiginous ridge, the Lauteraarhorn (4,042 m) stands like a hidden treasure. Often overshadowed by its famous neighbors, it nonetheless exudes authentic majesty: its tapering edges and wild faces draw a pure line, an echo of unspoilt nature.
For Thomas Crauwelsthe Lauteraarhorn is the very symbol of the discreet and demanding mountain. There, far from the crowded itineraries, the light sublimates the mineral and ice in a silent dialogue, revealing the raw beauty of this little-known colossus.
In his photographs, Thomas captures the essence of this singular summit: a delicate balance between the harshness of altitude and the soft nuances of light. Each shot bears witness to a suspended moment, where the solitude and intensity of the setting invite a form of introspection. Beyond the technical feat, the ascent of the Lauteraarhorn becomes an encounter with the purity of the high mountains, an intimate pilgrimage to the summit a Switzerland that is still wild.
