Step into the world of Swiss master poster designer Martin Peikert with this exceptional and exceedingly rare vintage advertising poster. Created in 1956, it captures the essence of the Montreux-Bernese-Oberland railways and showcases Switzerland as an unparalleled ski destination.
Embark on a scenic journey as the "Montreux-Bernese-Oberland" railway takes you from the picturesque town of Montreux, through the enchanting Golden Pass, to the breathtaking Bernese Oberland. Traverse the magnificent landscapes, including Gstaad, Interlaken, and the iconic Jungfrau, immersing yourself in the beauty of Switzerland's alpine wonderland.
