Portrait of a mountain that rises in a drama of ice and rock. From the Tête Blanche, the Dent d'Hérens reveals its wild soul, a perfect pyramid rising from the Alpine abyss. Located on the border between Switzerland and Italy, the Dent d'Hérens rises to an altitude of 4,173 metres in the Valais Alps.

Every year, hundreds of climbers follow the legendary Zermatt Haute Route. During this crossing, the Dent d'Hérens is clearly visible. But how many really stop to contemplate this marvel? Over and above the physical effort, how many perceive the suspended poetry of this summit ? Because sometimes it only takes a few minutes to feel the full power of this summit. That's why, through this photograph, I'm passing on to you all the emotion that the Dent d'Hérens has aroused in me. So that you too can be captivated by its grandeur.

I've captured the moment when Dent d'Hérens surrenders to the light. Each protrusion tells the story of a thousand-year-old duel between the mountain and the elements. This portrait of the frontier colossus transcends simple alpine photography. It captures the moment when the mountain becomes meditation, when the summit becomes contemplation. In the intertwining of icy textures and bare rock, I wanted to capture the very essence of this frontier guardian who watches over the Zermatt Haute Route.
