The Wetterhornbahn near Grindelwald around 1909.

This historical photograph shows the impressive Wetterhornbahn against the imposing mountain backdrop of the Bernese Oberland. The small cabin is suspended high above the valley – a fascinating testament to the early years of alpine cableway construction in Switzerland.

The Wetterhornbahn was opened in 1908 and is considered one of Switzerland’s early passenger aerial cableways. The image thus combines Swiss engineering, tourism and Alpine history in a particularly distinctive way.

The historical photograph has been carefully digitally restored and newly prepared as a high-quality print. Particularly suitable for lovers of historical mountain railways, the Swiss Alps and old photographs from the Grindelwald region.

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