The poster depicts a great rendering of an alpine scene with peaking mountains, railroad tunnel and alp flowers in the front. The white flower is probably Edelweiss.
A lovely poster designed by Armin Bieber.

The direct rail link from Switzerland's western plateau, which connects Spiez and Brig at the northern end of the Simplon Tunnel cutting through the Alps from Switzerland to Italy.
