This wonderful original vintage travel poster promotes the Monte San Salvatore funicular in Lugano, Switzerland. At the top yields a 360° panorama with views of the city, Lake Lugano, Monte Generoso and the Italian enclave of Campione.
The line links a lower station in the Lugano suburb of Paradiso with an upper station at the summit of the Monte San Salvatore. The line was built in 1890, but after several upgrades, it is still functional today.
The poster is in great condition, mounted on thin linen, light foldmarks. Ready to be framed and put on the wall.
