Glacier Express, Switzerland, 1930s

A SPECTACULAR and rare original vintage poster capturing the high-altitude drama of the famous Glacier Express operating between the Swiss Alpine resorts of Zermatt and St Moritz. 

Size 100cm x 65cm

Condition Very good. We have had this poster cleaned and restored to museum standards, and mounted on Japan paper. If you would like to know more please get in touch.. 

Background  Operating since 1930, the Glacier Express navigates hundreds of bridges and tunnels at altitudes between 1,500 and 2,000 metres over a distance of 300 kilometres. The journey takes eight hours and it is jokingly known as the world's slowest express service. Unsigned and undated, this poster was probably created in the 1930s. Today it is widely reproduced, including on mugs and T-shirts.
