The cable car to Klewenalp in the early 1950s.

This impressive historical photograph shows a cabin of the Beckenried–Klewenalp cable car against a winter mountain landscape. Far below the cable car lies Lake Lucerne, surrounded by the snow-covered mountains of Central Switzerland.

The old cabin and the distinctive alignment of the cables make this image a remarkable document of the early history of Swiss mountain railways and tourism. At the same time, the combination of lake, snow and Alpine panorama creates an exceptionally atmospheric photograph.

The historical photograph has been carefully digitally processed and reproduced as a high-quality print. A decorative piece of Swiss cable-car and Alpine history – particularly suitable for mountain railway enthusiasts, lovers of Central Switzerland and historical Swiss photography.

The print is delivered already framed and can be hung or displayed immediately.
