Searching for silence
A search for silence at the Übeltalferner glacier and in the Monte Rosa massif, on the way to the highest hut in Europe, the Capanna Regina Margherita, 4554 meters above sea level.
Not even one noise from the valley penetrates the silence up here. On this altitude the mountain is the commander. For our consumption of freedom from the valley's noise the hut is indispensable.

The higher we get, the quieter it get's. Sometimes all sense of time is lost, we walk and breath.
Somewhere in the white the sun is fading.
