A lovely and very rare original vintage travel poster designed by master Peikert. This is a rare Peikert poster.
The poster depicts a chairlift bringing tourist to the top of Niederhorn during the summer months.
The Niederhorn is a peak of the Emmental Alps in the Bernese Oberland near Beatenberg. It is the peak farthest west in the Güggis ridge. From its summit you can see Lake Thun and the entire Bernese Alps. The aerial cable car to the summit was completed in 1946 with a restaurant and children's playground at the top. Today the summit can be reached by the Seilbahnen Beatenberg-Niederhorn, a more modern gondola liftthat runs from the village of Beatenberg, where it connects with the Thunersee–Beatenberg Bahn, a funicular with connections to the shipping services on Lake Thun.
Love this poster! Mounted on linen.
