Photo prints of sunrises in the Alps

At sunrise, the mountain changes in a few minutes. Dent Parrachée, Grande Casse, the Matterhorn, and Pierra Menta take on the first colors while the valleys still remain in shadow.

Photos of alpenglow, reflections and first light on the alpine peaks

At sunrise, the mountain changes in a matter of minutes. Dent Parrachée, Grande Casse, the Matterhorn and Pierra Menta take on the first colors while the valleys remain in shadow. Ibex facing Mont Blanc, mountaineers near the Lanchettes ridge and the Robert Blanc refuge give a more human scale to these very short bursts of light.

The chosen finish for sunrise images in the Alps is a matte Dibond aluminium print, made to order, which preserves the rock, snow and light passages without artificial glare.

First light and still-cold relief

Reflections in the lakes or the windows of the Gornergrat train sometimes extend the color of the sky. On the ridges, the light remains sharper, silhouetting forms before descending into the landscape.
