The Aiguille du Midi emerges from the clouds like a ghost. This emblematic 3,842-meter-high summit , gateway to the high mountains, reveals its most mysterious personality here. The summit appears completely white in this ethereal light. A fabulous journey that propels us as swiftly as the wind into the heart of the high-mountain realm.

This spectral vision fascinates with its absolute purity. The Aiguille du Midi emerges from its cloudy shroud like a celestial apparition, revealing its sharp edges in this immaculate whiteness.

The Aiguille du Midi is one of the most recognizable summits in the Mont Blanc massif, thanks to the antenna on its summit. The surrounding mist creates a theatrical atmosphere in which the mountain plays with our perceptions. This dance between appearance and disappearance transforms the Aiguille du Midi into a dreamlike vision, far removed from the tourist crowds that usually characterize this accessible summit .

I've been observing the Aiguille du Midi for several years, impatiently waiting for the moment when it would offer itself to my lens, decked out in its finest attire. A number of conditions have to come together for the faces to be dusted in this way. I try to understand meteorological phenomena, to predict them, but no one can really tame nature. So you have to rely on chance and be patient. You have to connect with the mountain and be there when the magic happens. When the snow finally clings to the rocks, transforming the summit into a pure white fairy-like creature. A fascinating spectacle that only lasts a few moments. The time for a photograph that bears witness to the fleeting, perfect beauty of the high mountains.
