Frequently Asked Questions ▾
Where is Passo Giau?
Passo Giau is a 2,236-metre mountain pass in the Dolomites of northern Italy, connecting Cortina d'Ampezzo with the Colle Santa Lucia valley. Its open position and high altitude mean it frequently catches morning mist from the valleys below, creating the layered, atmospheric conditions that make it one of the Dolomites' finest photography locations.
What does this print show?
The print captures Passo Giau in the misty light of early morning, with golden sunrise breaking through cloud and the Dolomite peaks emerging from the haze layer by layer.
What is the best time of day to photograph Passo Giau?
Sunrise is widely considered the finest time to photograph Passo Giau. In summer, the pass catches the first direct light within 30 minutes of dawn, and on misty mornings the cloud layers from the valleys create natural depth and atmosphere. Sunset is equally rewarding — the west-facing aspect catches the last light directly, turning the meadows and peaks a deep golden orange.

Super disappointed with the quality of this print, but you get what you pay for. While the photo itself is beautiful online, the print is low quality and on poor quality paper that is yellowed and scuffs incredibly easily. It's delivered rolled vs. flat and bent in several spots when I tried to roll it back up for storage. I'd buy from this photographer again if other printing and delivery options were available.

I was looking for a large print that had personal meaning for my husband and me. We love biking and hiking around the Matterhorn, and Zermatt has always felt like a magical place to us. The print is incredibly sharp, vibrant, and beautifully produced. It’s exactly what I was hoping for and looks perfect above our mantel.
The calendar is beautiful, I was looking for something that reminded me of home, and it’s perfect. Only small downside is that it’s printed back-and-front, so you can’t look at/take notes for the next month without removing from wall.
Really like the print. Looks great on my wall. Seller was friendly and had no issues with the order. I would definitely recommend.
I got two of the Chamonix calendars for Christmas presents after we spent a magical couple of months admiring the area. They are beautiful! Delivery was quick and they came in good condition. We actually had the pleasure of meeting the photographer behind these stunning photos at an alpine hut, and he is just as funny and kind as he is talented! Definitely recommend supporting this authentic small business.
Veramente ben fatto e alta qualità di stampa consigliato
Seller communicated when was shipping and also to make sure arrived okay. Looks great in my living room.
This picture is exactly as described and how it looks. It’s printed on good paper and doesn’t have a glossy finish which doesn’t make it extra reflective when hanged. The colors are great in person (photo doesn’t do it justice). Highly recommend!
Amazing quality, very happy with my purchases!
Wir sind überglücklich mit dem Resultat. Eine wunderschöne Aufnahme! Vielen Dank für die tolle Arbeit. Es ist schnell und super verpackt bei uns eingetroffen.
Great gift for my daughter. Looks amazing on her walll
We have purchased a few prints from this shop and every time they are just beautiful! The shipping is extraordinarily fast.
Très belle photographie d'un lieu culte à Chamonix.
I’m so happy with the print, the quality is great and it looks better in real life! The print was delivered really promptly and it was well packaged. It was a gift for family and they love it too!
Lovely prints of beautiful landscape. Framed one as a gift and very happy with the results. Wonderful attention to detail from the shop owner.
Beautiful piece! Incredible quick delivery.
