A celestial monument in the heart of the Valais Alps, theObergabelhorn stands like a temple of ice and rock. Here, its north face reveals all its architectural splendor. An immaculate colossus 4,063 metres above sea level, it defies the heavens with its unshakeable presence.

At the heart of this grandiose spectacle, theObergabelhorn imposes its elegance. The mountain dons its winter finery. Clad in an armor of crystalline ice, the summit unfurls its vertiginous flanks. The north face rises up before us, alternating between the immaculate white of fresh snow and the blue of thousand-year-old ice. The few nuances of color reveal the depth of each texture. From the suspended glaciers that defy gravity to the gaping crevasses that reveal the mountain's innards, everything comes together to create a visual symphony. Here, theObergabelhorn presents itself in all its nakedness, an eternal monument to the glory of the Alps.

Photographing theObergabelhorn was an intense moment, as I'd been dreaming of immortalizing this scene for years. Every day, I scrutinized the whims of the weather and the moods of the mountain. Because mountains don't give themselves up easily. You have to earn its confidence, understand its silences and respect its grandeur. Faced with this perfect pyramid, I feel the unique emotion that comes from contemplation. The moment freezes, eternity takes shape, and the mountain reminds us of our smallness in the face of the immensity of the Alpine world.
