A spectacular perspective of the historic Säntis cableway.

The photograph shows the Säntis cableway around 1936 on its journey over the steep mountain landscape of the Alpstein. The cables extend far down into the valley and impressively emphasise the height and steepness of the route. At the centre, one of the historic cabins glides above the rocky and partly snow-covered landscape.

The unusual perspective makes this image particularly captivating and at the same time conveys an impression of the beginnings of modern cableway tourism in the Swiss Alps.

The historic photograph has been carefully digitally restored and reprocessed as a high-quality print. A special image for people with a connection to the Säntis and Alpstein, for mountain and cableway enthusiasts, and for lovers of historic Swiss photography.

The print is delivered already framed and can be hung or placed directly.
