I don't know, I thought it was a nice picture for the background. Could it be the Materhorn, sure looks like it. I think you're right joevan, here is the Matterhorn. I don't think it is the same shape. The mountain in Bouler's background has more of a shoulder below the peak, and has some jagged secondary peaks lower down that are not evident in the Matterhorn picture. There are several alpine peaks that are of that general shape, but they differ in detail. At first I thought it might be the Meije, which is in the Ecrins Massif of the Hautes Alpes in France, but I don't think it is. Of course it all depends on the direction from which you are looking. The appearance of any mountain changes greatly from one side to another. Anyway, it's a beautiful picture of a great mountain, regardless of its name. -- Bill Collins For email, change "fake" to "earthlink" |

Here's a link to La Meige, with a good pictu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Meije Other sites related to La Grave / La Meige talk about extreme skiing at the place. My daughter and her husband ski La Meige for 4 months every winter. He has been doing that for 20 years. They are still alive to tell about it. -- Bill Collins For email, change "fake" to "earthlink" |
