Photographer [Robert Bösch](http://www.robertboesch.ch/en/) captured these extraordinary photos of a team of mountaineers on the snowy Alps for the Swiss brand [Mammut](http://www.mammut.ch/en/index.html). The alpinists demonstrated their impressive skills by hiking and skiing to incredible heights, forming stunning patterns, and hanging from suspension ropes in extreme conditions. The group paid homage to explorer Edward Whymper and his team, who were the first to ascend the Matterhorn, by illuminating the exact route that was taken by Whymper and his crew 150 years ago.
