Valais Switzerland Ski Resort
Original vintage travel advertising poster promoting skiing and winter sports in the Alpine region of Valais in southern Switzerland, home to the ski resorts of Saas-Fee, Verbier, Zermatt and Crans-Montana. Fun and colourful design featuring a stylised figure of a smiling young man holding a traditional Swiss hat with flowers in it and wearing a yellow camera around his neck, floating in the air against the clear blue sky and pointing down to the title text in black - Valais Suisse Schweiz Switzerland Svizzera - in front of the Swiss Alps mountains and a busy ski resort with tables outside a chalet restaurant, a large red and white Swiss flag flying over a cable car lift building, skis on the side and skiers depicted skiing down the snowy pistes. Printed in Switzerland by Lith. Sauberlin & Pfeiffer S.A., Vevey. Very good condition, small restored tears, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All antique and vintage posters listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Most of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves drawing a reverse image of each colour onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, I believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £35 for orders placed via our website.
