Magnificent panorama of the Engadine mountains in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. In the foreground is Piz Bernina, 4048 metres above sea level. It is the highest summit in the eastern Alps. At the heart of the picture, the Biancograt provides a sublime route to the summit. This route, a true mountaineer's dream, is considered one of the most beautiful ridges in the Alps. Its perfect shape, of absolute visual purity, cuts through the landscape like a comma of ice, subtly linking two distinct worlds. In the background, Piz Roseg also stands out as one of the Bernina massif's most imposing summits .

I took this panoramic photograph in 2020, shortly after a storm had deposited a thin layer of snow on the summits. When the mountain finally emerges from the clouds, it comes to life under the sun's rays, which sublimate the dazzling whiteness of its flanks. The Bernina massif is hundreds of kilometers from my home. Photographing these giants is always a challenge for me. Capturing their fleeting beauty requires anticipation, patience and luck. Despite meticulous preparation and careful study of weather conditions, the reality of the high mountains remains unpredictable. Only unfailing perseverance allows us to be present when nature offers this rare and precious moment.

Through this work, I wanted to highlight the resemblance and harmony of these two emblematic summits . This fascinating portrait reveals two Alpine colossi that, despite the illusion of immediate proximity, are separated by miles. An incomparable aesthetic that transcends the ordinary and touches our hearts deeply.
