Zermatt overview

From the top of theArolla glaciers, the Valais Alps reveal their grandeur. This fabulous black-and-white panoramic photograph guides us to the most beautiful mountains in the Zermatt valley. Wild and grandiose, this natural treasure never ceases to inspire my art. Opposite us, the Matterhorn spreads its roots to meet the sky. Between light and shadow, the Zmutt ridge opens the way to summit. To the left, the Hörnli ridge leads us to its summit. We then descend to the right on the Lion ridge, crossing its flat and the Tyndall peak. The north face of the Matterhorn catches our eye, illuminated by the first rays of the summer sun. Echoing its brilliance, the Breithorn and Liskamm mountains also enjoy the morning light. Shading the latter, the Monte Rosa massif cuts a swath through the horizon. From the Ludwigshöhe, we reach the Parrotspitze, the Signalkuppe or Gnifetti Point and the Zumsteinspitze. An incredible journey at over 4,000 metres altitude.

Day breaks in the Valais Alps as the storm recedes. The cloud-laden sky filters through the light to give us this masterful tableau. As the mist invades the valley, like a river flowing between the rocks, the Gornergrat emerges. A dark vessel sailing on the waves of the tormented Alps. Dressed in its finest mantle, the mountain faces its destiny. Playing with its powerful lines and the contours of its relief, it reveals its magnificence to the world. I love the overwhelming, grandiose atmosphere that emanates from this photograph. The work takes us on a journey beyond ourselves. If you take a closer look, you'll soon dream of climbing these mountains and breathing in their splendor.
