A very different view on Swiss landscapes: These pictures show the wild side of Switzerland, untamed nature in all its dramatic power.

Mysterious stone formations, overgrown primeval forests, arctic ice floes – Max Schmid’s photographs bear witness to the fact that Switzerland is not just a land of Alpine idylls and snowy mountains. One might be in Australia, Greenland or some other unexplored area of the planet forgotten by humans. Sublime, bare, lush, colorful, romantic or even apocalyptic – this volume proves just how incredibly diverse Swiss landscape can be.
