Alpine Passes

Photographs from the two series and books “Alpine Passes” and “Passbilder”, exploring the landscapes and history of the most significant Alpine crossings.

Crossing the Alps is a key part of Alpine history. For many years, I have been exploring the landscapes and history of Alpine passes through my photography. Each pass is shaped by the topography of the Alps, has a distinctive character and its own history. I try to bring this to life through my photographs.

The prints are extremely detailed, and the wonderful baryta paper is ideal for reproducing these subtleties. The ideal print size for standard rooms is between 75 cm and 100 cm in height, with a corresponding width. The versions in shadow-gap frames and on Aludibond are highly recommended.

    Snow still covers the landscape; the pass has just reopened after the winter closure, and clouds hang low over the mountains. In the foreground is Lake Grimsel; to the right is the hospice perched on its rock, and to the left is the road winding its way up the hillside in hairpin turns. In the lake itself, a section of the old path is still visible, along with a small 19th-century bridge

    In the foreground is the narrow, partly single-lane southern ramp leading from the Maira Valley to Colle di Sampeyre. Behind it, Monte Bettone stands like a cliff in a soft, white sea of fog.
