The moment of shooting
The flight takes place at the end of the day with a southeast → northwest axis to keep the relief of the Hörnli and the summit slopes in light. The sunset creates a warm gradient on the face, while the valleys plunge into shadow, reinforcing the dramatic contrast characteristic of the Matterhorn.

Recommended formats & hanging
To maintain the presence of the summit without cropping, opt for panoramic or large rectangular formats. Generous sizes (≥ 90 cm wide) better reveal the texture of the edges and the rock's texture. Hanging at eye level, 15–20 cm above the back of a sofa, maximizes the immersive effect.
