Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Gran Paradiso

Small Group Landscape Photography Tour

Mountains have always inspired awe and a sense of majesty in mankind.
The Western Alps features some of the best mountain landscapes in Europe. The tallest and most famous "rocky giants" of the whole Alps range such as Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Gran Paradiso and Monte Rosa are all standing here in the northwestern corner of Italy, in a range of just a few miles. Join me in this small group, all inclusive workshop and get ready to be immersed in a true landscape photographer's paradise made of majestic peaks, forests and woods, streams and waterfalls, glaciers and lakes.
