I took this magnificent panoramic #photograph of the #Valais Alps from the Mont-Blanc massif. The work embraces 70 kilometers of a breathtaking landscape. The mountains rise majestically one behind the other, bringing an incredible depth to the image. Sailing through this black and white panorama, our eyes travel through five of the most beautiful #alpine valleys.On the right side of the photograph, the Monte Rosa massif emerges from the mist, giving the work a powerful mystical intensity. The highest #summits of the #Swiss mountain range stand proudly between earth and sky. #Breithorn Liskamm, Castor, Pollux, Dufourspitze or Nordend, so many legendary mountains that stir our imagination. In the foreground, the central character of the painting, the Grand Combin, with its incredible presence, culminates at 4314 meters above the valley of Bagnes. Imposing pyramid of rock and ice in the heart of the Swiss Alps. On sunny days, what a joy for the mountaineer that I am to reach the summit by the Combin de Valsorey and its magnificent crossing. This welcoming summit still has many glaciers at high altitude. Without a doubt they will be among the last glaciers of the Alps in about thirty years. The high mountains are indeed suffering terribly from global warming and their appearance is changing rapidly.-------------------------------This artwork is available in limited edition-------------------------------#ValaisAlps#MountainPanorama#SwissPeaks#AlpineBeauty#Naturephotography#Mountainphotography#Valaiswallis#MountainView#ThomasCrauwels#monterosa#grandcombin#saasfee@montblanc-nr@chamonixmontblanc@montblanclive@auvergerhonealpes.tourism@courmayeurmontblanc@montblancstories@valaiswallis@valaisactif@zermatters@valdanniviers@saasfee
Celestial power of the Eiger, which rises above #Grindelwald, in the #bernese alps. The Swiss ogre was probably named after the many climbers who died defying its impressive north face. It is one of the five most mythical north faces in the Alps, along with the Matterhorn, the Grandes Jorasses, the Piz Badile and the Cima Grande. Indomitable slopes between sky and earth.I realized this aerial photograph of square format by helicopter. I went to the meeting of the #Eiger for several years before having the chance to attend this spectacle, grandiose and unreal. That day, the elements came together to offer me this bewitching portrait of the fabulous Eiger. Winter is in full swing and storms follow one another at the gates of the Swiss #Alps. The disturbances coming from the north pour down on the wall of Grindelwald before reaching the other summits. At this precise moment, the mountain survived the fury of the storm. Its north face will slumber in the shadows until spring returns. Still beset by the wind, the Eiger pierces the clouds like a rock spike to reach the sun. In the background, the #Schreickhorn and the #Lauteraarhorn also emerge from a sea of clouds, giving a mystical depth to the picture. Hymn to Eiger, this photograph is the fruit of a heady dream: that of immortalizing through my art the wild beauty of #summit, its exceptional silhouette and its legendary charisma.--------------------------------This artwork is available in limited edition--------------------------------#Eigersummit#BerneseAlps#Mountainphotography#LegendarySummit#Naturephotography#Alpine#EigerPortrait#Swissalps#Mountaineering#ThomasCrauwels@grindelwald_eiger@gstaad_official@grindelwaldfirst@bernese.oberland@gstaad_official@ultimagstaad
Luminous portrait of Piz Palü which, from its 3899 meters of altitude, overhangs the #Morteratsch valley, at the borders of the Eastern Alps. This beautiful mountain, emblematic of the Bernina range in the #Swiss #Engadine region, can be easily contemplated from the Diavolezza ski lifts. It also offers to the mountaineers a superb crossing.I took this picture of Piz Palü in spring. The sun was just rising on summit, still seized by the storm that covered its walls with snow during the night. Thanks to this carefully considered angle of view, the photograph gains in depth. The ridge in the foreground, which seems to be one with the teeth of Piz Palü, crystallizes the impetuosity of the winds that continue to strike the #snowy walls.I chose this day precisely for its incomparable luminosity. Painting the edges of shadow or light, it offers a graphic and bewitching dimension to this legendary #mountain. The #summit owes its extraordinary beauty to its geometry, so particular and unique in the #Alps. Perfect symmetry of the ridges which follow one another, one after the other. The timeless rhythm of nature, inexhaustible and heady, which makes my heart beat. The many hanging and descending glaciers along its ridges also contribute to making Piz Palü a mythical summit .--------------------------------This artwork is available in limited edition--------------------------------#Alpinephotography#Mountainphotography#Swissalps#Naturephotography#blackandwhite#Berninamassif#PizPalü#madeinswitzerland#PizpaluSummit#ThomasCrauwels@engadin.stmoritz@bbcwildlifemagazine@earthoutdoors@earth_shotz@earthofficial@voyaged@instagood
Portrait of the Aiguille du Midi, in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif, in #France. A world-famous #summit , which, thanks to the lift it is equipped with, allows everyone to enter the enchanting realm of the high #mountains in a few minutes. Transported to #3842 meters of #altitude, a new world is easily offered to all, whatever their physical condition and beyond the will of the sky.We are here at the end of the day, just after the storm. The calm has returned, the mountain is calming down. The Aiguille du Midi is just emerging from the fog, still numb from the wind. Two or three times a year, the magic happens. When the conditions are right, when the temperature, the snow and the wind are in symbiosis, the Aiguille suddenly seems to be covered with a fabulous plaster. A miracle of which only nature has the secret. The image is unique each time, varying with each episode of precipitation. I have been trying for years to unravel the mystery of this phenomenon, but it remains, again and again. As ephemeral and impenetrable as the most precious masterpieces created by nature.The Aiguille du Midi rises majestically, piercing the sky and the fog. In the background, giving depth to the picture, the Grandes Jorasses spring out of a sea of clouds like a sparkling wall. In the company of the dome of Rochefort and Mount Mallet, they offer their freshly snow-covered face to the softness of the first rays of sunshine.--------------------------------This artwork is available in limited edition--------------------------------#Aiguilledumidi#MontBlancnaturalresort#HighMountain#chamonixmontblanc#AlpineSplendor#Mountaineering#montblancmassif#hautesavoie#Aerialphotography#frenchalps@montblanc-nr@chamonixmontblanc@montblanclive@auvergerhonealpes.tourism@savoiemontblanc@montblancstories@climbingmagazine@bestofthealps@french_alps@lesalpesfrancaises
This panoramic photograph reveals the splendor of the Imperial Crown of Zinal, in #Switzerland. It is composed of the most beautiful summits of 4000 meters of the Alps. This huge mountain range of #Valais stands in the val d’Anniviers, at the border with the valley of Zermatt.This exceptional panorama could only be realized from the sky because there is no summit allowing to position oneself at this place. The aerial view brings together all the mountains of the Crown. On the left, the #Weisshorn, the highest summit of the Imperial Crown, stands out in all its majesty. #In front of it, theBishorn is one of the easiest to climb of the #Alps at an altitude of 4000 meters. The #Zinalrothorn, with its long White ridge, leads us to the Blanc de Moming. We then travel to #Besso, the emblematic mountain of #Zinal. In the background, the #The Obergabelhorn and the Matterhorn line up one behind the other. We realize here the monumental height of the Matterhorn, which culminates at 4478 meters of altitude, compared to theThe The Obergabelhorn, whose difference in level is 400 meters lower. Finally, we let ourselves be carried towards The The Dent d'Hérens, whose ridge is connected to the #Matterhorn, the majestic The The Dent Blanche and the Grand Cornier.By a play of perspective, the ensemble lets us think that these high mountains are linked one after the other. In reality, the valleys of #Zermatt, Turtmann, val d’Anniviers and the Val d'Hérens separate them. By choosing this particular point of view, which allows to align on the same picture these giants of rock and ice, I wished to emphasize these jewels that nature offers us.--------------------------------This artwork is available in limited edition--------------------------------#Mountaineering#AlpinePhotography#Imperialcrown#CrownOfZinal#ThomasCrauwels#HighAltitude#EpicSummits#madeinSwitzerland#MountainArt#swissalps@valaiswallis@valaisactif@zermatt.matterhorn@zermatters@cerviniavalt@valdanniviers@grimentz.zinal@sierrezinal_officiel@stuc.chandolin@myvaldherens@newlyswissed
