Patrol of the Tete Blance glacier at approximately 3,700 meters above sea level at minus 10 degrees Celsius. After starting in Zermatt and a grueling climb, the patrols reach Tete Blanche. The atmosphere is somewhat frightening: the vastness of the Alps, the clarity of the night, making it difficult to spot the patrols. Why, I wonder, since everyone who makes it up here is a winner. My goal was to capture a picture where every participant could find themselves in the backdrop of the Swiss Alps.
