Massif d'Iseran
La Tomba, Val-Cenis, France
The Iseran massif is a mountainous group of the Vanoise Alps and the Grand Arc (Alpi Graie), located in the French department of Savoy. All the peaks that are part of it are abundantly over 3000 meters high.
This area is located on the border between Italy and France and in winter is known for its ski sports facilities, which start from the small municipalities of Lanslevillard and Lanslebourg.
I often go to this area to photograph, because the light, especially in the afternoon, comes cut from the left side and creates spectacular plays of light that highlight the rock formations of the massif and all the shapes that have been created by erosion on the enormous slopes.
If you explore the photo, you will see how many rocky shapes can be seen, small canyons and gleaming limestone rocky views, waterfalls that jump tens of meters, streams that arise at high altitude and descend to the valley tracing endless paths. Larch and pine forests embellish the whole area, full of pastures and mountain pastures inhabited all summer (you can see in the photo some houses inhabited by the mountaineers who live up there with their cattle in the summer).
To take this photo I positioned myself in the only point that allows the view of the interior valley, tens of kilometers long, completely surmounted by gigantic mountains: a small square where a control shed was mounted for some antennas used for telecommunications

Our ready-to-hang canvas prints are created using a specialty printer that carefully lays pigment inks down onto archival-quality fine art canvas material. The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.
A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:
- Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
- Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.
*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
