The Aiguilles Dorées are normally seen from Chamonix or the Saleina Glacier side.
From Vichères, however looking across from here, everything looks huge and open, giving the ridge a sculptural, three-dimensional presence.
On winter mornings like this, when fresh snow clings only to selective faces and shadows carve deep lines, the entire massif looks like a natural cathedral, vertical, intricate, incredibly detailed.
It’s so difficult to show the sense of scale in a photograph. Being there and witnessing it firsthand is so special is so special and I never take it for granted!
