Where? I assume the foreground might actually be superimposed on the background.

It seems like Mont Blanc Massif seen from near Chamonix, but the pic is turned like a mirror sight. Don't think the foreground is superimposed on the background

It is. This is a screenshot of a film that was filmed entirely in the Provo Utah area. Those mountains in the background don't exist anywhere near Provo-I have climbed almost every mountain around Provo and none of them look like that.

I believe the foreground comes from the area around Payson Lakes:

The background is superimposed or photoshopped in.

OK but there are many foregrounds like that in the world Scott...

True, but the entire movie was filmed at Payson Lakes and Vivian Park, Utah. See here:

So while the entire movie was filmed in Utah, the background in the scene in question is not from Utah but was photoshopped in. The background is a reversed Mt Blanc Massif photo just as you suspected. I was able to find it online.

Original photo is from here (Utah company that also leads trips to the Alps):

Flipped (Mirror Image) and cropped photo (compare to movie scene mountains):

I'm sure that you would agree that the background is from the Alps and not Utah.

So I was right about the background... Good work has been done to change that pic...

Thanks Scott
