Can you spot the skier on this 4000-metre cliff in Switzerland?

Red Bull recently shared this photograph of Jeremie Heitz performing on the Pennine Alps, although the professional skier can barely be seen descending the near-vertical peak.

Heitz, an extreme sportsman, was filmed during the daring descent for a Red Bull project on May 16 but the extreme sports company only released the dramatic photos on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old teamed up with Red Bull for a project which allowed him to travel to 15 of his dream peaks, the Mail Online reported.

In case you can't spot Heitz, take a look at the photo below.

Heitz, who placed ninth place in the Freeride World Tour this year, has been skiing since he was just two years old.

He "never saying no to new adventures" and says his life philosophy is to "enjoy your time at 200 per cent".

In 2015, Heitz compiled a list of the most interesting peaks in the Alps which he wants to ski in a film, La Liste.

The Pennine Alps are a mountain range in the western part of the Alps. They are located in Switzerland (Valais) and Italy (Piedmont and the Aosta Valley).
