I am not too crazy about getting up at 4am. Luckily nature rewarded me with
breathtaking sceneries.
Often times, it is only the very short moments that stick with you. Like this magical sunrise above the Aletsch Glacier.
They are still out there. The wild, remote places where no one even knows the term “light-pollution”.
Dani Arnold and Ralf Weber making their way towards a first ascent on a nameless peak. I enjoy places far off the worn out paths.
Looking at peaks like this, there is no question “why”. You just have to climb.
Having 900m of ice below your feet is so hard to image. Hopefully glaciers like the Aletsch will not melt too quickly.
With sun comes warmth. That is common sense. Yet on this particular morning the lesson was giving in a very special, spectacular way.
Fritz Roy presented himself in day’s last sunlight. With the vanishing sun the cold crept into our bivy. -25 degrees. Good night!
Being a Guide is my second profession. It’s about helping guests realize their alpine dreams.
Living a life as an alpine photographer is sometimes hard and strenous but for me it is a way of life and the most beautiful work-life balance I can think of.
