This original vintage Swiss travel poster, likely from the 1960s, celebrates the iconic Bern-Loetschberg-Simplon railway, renowned for its passage through Switzerland's stunning alpine landscapes.
The vivid photograph by Meyer-Henn Fredo captures a red train emerging from the Schintigraben tunnel, part of the Gotthard Base Tunnel system, set against a backdrop of majestic snowy mountains, dense pine forests, and dramatic alpine slopes. The scene artfully blends modern engineering with the untouched natural beauty of Switzerland.
The bold yellow title "Bern Loetschberg Simplon" at the top, alongside "Schweiz Suisse Svizzera Switzerland," emphasizes the railway's international significance. This poster is in good condition, with two small tears at the top and minor pinholes, and would make a beautiful addition to any collection or a striking piece for wall display.
