I randomly ended up in front of this island to watch this partial eclipse, on the biggest Swiss lake shore. What a unique moment anyway, when the end of this alignment is actually a sunset. #SolarEclipse #Eclipse2026 #LakeGeneva #LandscapePhotography #SunsetLight #SwissLakes #Fujifilm

It was supposed to be a simple bivouac… but the sunset was far from ugly. Altitude, colours, and silence, a parenthesis in this too‑hot summer. #Peru #Huayhuash #TwilightLight #MountainBivouac #OutdoorPhotography #HighAltitudeHiking #AndesMountains #SlowTravel

Cerro Gran Vista is the highest point of the Huayhuash Circuito Alpino. But what matters far more than altitude is the view it offers: the colours, the 360° horizon, the contrasts… truly unique. #Peru #Huayhuash #GranVista #CordilleraHuayhuash #HighAltitudeHiking #AndesMountains #AdventureTravel

Remember Joe Simpson from “Touching the Void”? The guy with two broken legs crawling between crevasses. It was here, on Siula Grande, the steep summit slightly to the left. Hard to stand in front of these mountains without thinking of that story. #Peru #Huayhuash #SiulaGrande #TouchingTheVoid #Andes

Where the Alpine Circuit becomes more than a simple trek. Hands on rock, route‑finding, and a bit later, glacier crossing. But that view on the lakes… #Peru #Huayhuash #CordilleraHuayhuash #PasoDelTrapecio #HighAltitudeHiking #AndesMountains #AdventureTravel #OutdoorPhotography #TrekkingPeru

At the pass, looking back at those turquoise lakes is incredible. What a view. Even with high fever, I felt incredibly lucky to be there. This stage is probably the easiest of the alpine loop. #Peru #Huayhuash #TresLagunas #CordilleraHuayhuash #HighAltitudeHiking #AndesMountains #TrekkingPeru

Morning réflexion. What do you do high in the #Huayhuash Mountains when you wake up with a bad fever and that incredible view? Is it worth pushing deeper, or is it wiser to go down and off‑map to reach the next village? Those moments of doubt stay with me, just like the view ! #Peru #Trekking

Evening by the lake. A perfect bivy spot, the lake is often the natural end of a day on the bike. A quick dip in the fresh water, a bit of fishing, and long minutes spent staring at the calm surface as the day fades away. #Bikepacking #BivouacLife #SlowTravel #OutdoorPhotography #CyclingNorway

Norway often offers incredible contrasts. Rain dissolves into warm sun in minutes, wind rises out of nowhere, and the sky shifts like a living thing. These sudden transitions shape dramatic sceneries and it feels as if the mountains can breathe again after the storm. #Norway #AfterTheStorm

Family bike touring means slow travel, time to notice the details and enjoy every single place. And sometimes it also means diving into a more crowded corner of Norway, like Røros, for a gentle cultural 2 days pause and some good food! #Røros #Norway #Bikepacking #SlowTravel #CyclingNorway

At the end of the day, there’s a deep satisfaction in riding a lonely trail through the Norwegian wild, the kind that settles perfectly as you reach the bivouac in the Scandinavian woods. The tent becomes your home, and for a moment you belong to that place. #Norway #Bikepacking #SlowTravel #Cycling

The pools, offering a wide variety of hues, are still maintained and worked with hand tools, following the old Inca tradition.
