The preface of
Thomas Crauwels
"I no longer believe in chance.
My destiny led me to Switzerland, where my true life mission appeared as a revelation: to perpetuate the memory of our alpine heritage.
The Alps inspire me, fill me with a divine energy. I am at search of the perfect moment, that fleeting moment when the mountain reveals its soul and lifts us up in its wake.
Between beauty, majesty and emotions, I invite you to an expedition through the most precious summits and the most captivating panoramas.
We will travel from the extremes of the East, where stands the Piz Bernina, to the West, with the Barre des Ecrins. Between these two peaks, I will reveal to you the grandeur of these immaculate alpine landscapes, covered with their eternal snow but so vulnerable.
The year 2022 revealed that we have passed the point of no return in the degradation of glaciers. During my ascents, I have seen the frightening speed of the transformation of the Alps, with crevasses appearing in places where only a short time ago I would never have imagined they existed.
However, the sadness of this accelerated change only strengthens my determination to perpetuate the memory of the Alps and to pass on to future generations a fragment of this kingdom of purity.
Climate change is also complicating my work: snow days are getting rarer and rarer, and freak windstorms often prevent the snow from clinging to summits. So the precious moments I want to show you become even more elusive.
But my love for the Alps has never been stronger.
I wish you a beautiful journey in this heavenly, yet fragile realm."
