Widerøes Flyveselskap Flyveruten Gusbrandsdalen Jotunheim

This exceptionally rare original vintage airline poster from 1935, issued by Widerøes Flyveselskap, promotes their flights to the Norwegian mountains along the route known as "Flyveruten Gudbrandsdalen Jotunheim."

The poster beautifully captures a Norwegian mountain winter scene, featuring a typical Norwegian cabin nestled in a snowy landscape with majestic mountain peaks.

The Norwegian magazine "Fly Luftfatsbladet" from 1936 provides insights into the new route: Widerøes Flyveselskap's flights to Jotunheimen offer tourists a quick, comfortable, and cost-effective way to explore some of the country's most beautiful regions. The article emphasizes the minimal environmental impact of air travel compared to other modes of transportation.

Although the route operated only during the winter season of 1935/36, speculation in newspapers in 1937 suggested a potential resumption. Widerøes Flyveselskap had applied for state aid, but evidence of whether this materialized remains inconclusive.

The poster has undergone meticulous professional restoration and is expertly mounted on linen, presenting itself as a magnificent and rare find, capturing a moment in aviation history and showcasing the allure of Norway's mountainous landscapes.
