Wallis Schweiz

This original vintage travel poster, issued in 1956 and photographed by André Kern, captures a picturesque winter scene of a traditional village in Wallis, nestled among snow-covered chalets and a historic stone church with a clock tower. The foreground features rustic wooden structures, while the background showcases a pristine alpine landscape with ski tracks winding down a forested mountain. A bold red and white banner with the word "Wallis" in a decorative font enhances the composition.

Wallis, also known as Valais in French, is a canton in Switzerland famous for its dramatic alpine landscapes, ski resorts, and vineyards. Home to iconic peaks such as the Matterhorn and Aletsch Glacier, it offers year-round outdoor activities, from skiing and mountaineering to thermal baths and wine tasting. The region is known for its blend of Swiss-German and French influences, reflected in its culture, cuisine, and traditions.

The poster is in good condition with some age-related wear, including minor tears, scratches, and signs of handling.
