Vanoise: Mountain photo prints (Alps) | Alu Dibond Premium Print

My Vanoise Photo Prints — France's First National Park

The Vanoise holds a special place in my heart as a photographer. As France's first national park, created in 1963, this Savoyard massif has provided me with some of my most beautiful high-mountain images. From the Grande Casse (3,855 m), the highest point in Savoie, to the legendary refuges perched over 2,500 meters high, every outing in the Vanoise is an adventure.

My collection of Vanoise photo prints is the result of dozens of hikes and bivouacs in this preserved massif. I have photographed sunrises over glaciers, refuges under the stars, snow-covered ridges, and curious marmots. Each image captures the essence of this wild territory, printed on matte Dibond aluminum to enhance your interior.

My Iconic Vanoise Photos

The Vanoise — My Favorite Playground in Savoie

The Grande Casse — 3,855 m, Roof of Savoie

The Grande Casse dominates the Vanoise National Park. I have photographed this iconic peak from Pralognan, from the Col de la Vanoise, and even from Courchevel. At sunrise, when the first rays ignite its glacial ridges, the spectacle is breathtaking.

The Mythical Refuges — Guardians of the Mountain

The Vanoise refuges are magical places that I have photographed in all lights:

  • Vanoise Refuge (formerly Félix Faure): Perched at the Col de la Vanoise (2,517 m), facing the Grande Casse
  • Valette Refuges: Two twin cabins in a wild cirque
  • Plan du Lac Refuge: By an alpine lake, Nordic atmosphere
  • Arpont Refuge: Starting point for the Vanoise glaciers

I have captured these refuges at sunrise, under the stars, or snow-covered in winter. Each image tells the story of these mountain guardians.

The Vanoise Glaciers — Ice Giants

The Gébroulaz Glacier, the Grande Casse Glacier, and the Chavière Glacier are subjects I have photographed throughout the seasons. These ice giants, witnesses to the passage of time, offer striking graphic compositions.

Vanoise Wildlife — Wild Encounters

The Vanoise is home to exceptional wildlife that I have had the chance to photograph: ibex on the ridges, curious marmots, agile chamois, and bearded vultures soaring above the valleys.
