This winter view of the Wetterhorn is without doubt one of Contencin’s most successful compositions. The combination of a snowbound farmer’s hut with sled tracks and a majestic Alpine summit were often all that Contencin needed in his mountainscapes. The log cabin puts the Wetterhorn’s plunging north face into proportion but it also adds a sense of isolation up above the valley. A century later this view remains more or less the same to skiers and walkers.
