1956 Vintage Travel Poster DAVOS Switzerland By H LEUPIN - LINEN BACKED
Item History & Price
DAVOS - PARSENN, SWITZERLAND1956Artist: Herbert Leupin (1916-1999)
Description:
ORIGINAL Vintage 1956 poster promoting the Swiss town of Davos, one of two gateway cities to Parsenn. Parsenn which links Davos and Klosters, is the cradle of skiing in Switzerland. In 1895, four English tourists lost their way on the Weissfluhjoch and ultimately landed in Küblis, thereby discovering the 12 km-long Parsenn descent - an Alpine myth was born. Since the opening of ...the funicular railway over 80 years ago, Parsenn has become the classic skiing mountain with endless descents on wide slopes and stylish and traditional mountain lodges - as shown by the Parsenn Derby, the oldest ski race in Switzerland. The Parsenn ski arena can be reached from Davos using the Parsenn funicular railway and from Klosters by the Gotschna cable car.
