Incredible pictures show crop circles made in the snow in the French Alps [BARCROFT]

Simon Beck spends up to 10 hours walking in the mountains in the French Alps creating the massive pieces of art.



The designs span hundreds of metres and Mr Beck creates them by trudging around in his snowshoes.



Some of the vast pieces of art are equivalent to the size of six football pitches.

He crafts each one in the skiing town of Les Arcs located in the French Alps where he lives during winter.



Mr Beck said: "The main reason for making them was because I can no longer run properly due to problems with my feet, so plodding about on level snow is the least painful way of getting exercise.



"Gradually, the reason has become photographing them, and I am considering buying a better camera."
