This majestic original vintage poster, designed by Hodel in 1925, promotes Mürren, Switzerland, as a captivating travel destination.
The poster features a serene scene of cows grazing amidst the towering Swiss mountains, capturing the rustic beauty and tranquility of Mürren. Situated at an elevation of 1,638 meters above sea level, Mürren is a traditional Walser mountain village accessible only by mountain railway, adding to its allure and exclusivity.
Renowned for its rich history in winter sports, Mürren has been a haven for enthusiasts since the early 20th century. It played a significant role during World War I, hosting wounded prisoners of war who contributed to the development of winter sports in the region.
With the text "Bergbahn Mürren Funiculaire Suisse Berner-Oberland Switzerland 1650 M.ü.M," this poster is not only a stunning piece of art but also a historical testament to the allure of Mürren. In excellent condition, it remains a timeless symbol of the Swiss Alps' natural splendor.
