Hi, I am Dominique and I am an international multi award winning landscape photographer and the heart and soul of Wildalps Adventures.
The mountains and especially the alps have always fascinated me. From a young age, in every country I lived in and travelled to, I was always drawn to those giants and their surroundings. Nature in general, but mostly mountain regions, are taking me to an elevated state of mind, a profound feeling of secureness, strength and inner peace.
Almost a decade ago I chose the Swiss alps as my playground. The beauty and diversity of Switzerland is mindblowing to me. The accumulation of majestic mountains above 4km (13.5k ft) a.s.l., the thousands of roaring waterfalls and unique shaped mountain lakes and fascinating glaciers are absolutely stunning. Between all of this natural beauty you will find historical churches, rural wooden cabins, impressive mountain passes and masterpieces of Swiss enigineering on the highest peaks the European continent has to offer. This is what I fell in love with in Switzerland along with the quality of life.
I enjoy spending as much time in the mountains as possible: hiking, breathing, thinking and taking photos of the beauty surrounding me. For photography I try to catch as many sunrises and sunsets as I can. One Wildalps Adventure at a time! Would you like to join me and experience a Swiss mountain photography adventure?
