An impressive view of the Säntis cableway amid the snow-covered mountain landscape.

The historic photograph shows the Säntis cableway around 1945, shortly before the upper station on the Säntis. The cabin floats between the steep, deeply snow-covered rock formations and vividly conveys the technical achievement represented by the construction and operation of a cableway in this high-alpine environment.

The strong contrast between the dark sky, bright snowy landscape and small cableway cabin gives the image a particularly striking effect.

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

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