Circa 1970 original travel poster of the Fribourg Alps in Switzerland

Circa 1970

The circa 1970 original travel poster Suisse Jungfrau Region Lauterbrunnen, designed by Swiss artist Rolf Krebs, beautifully captures the serene majesty of Switzerland's Jungfrau Region, particularly the idyllic village of Lauterbrunnen. This poster, like many travel advertisements of the time, aimed to transport viewers into the picturesque Alpine landscapes, enticing them to explore the natural beauty and tranquility of the Swiss mountains. The artwork features a panoramic view of Lauterbrunnen Valley, framed by the towering snow-capped peaks of the Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger mountains. Krebs masterfully uses a combination of vibrant greens from the valley floor and stark whites of the surrounding mountains to evoke a sense of awe and grandeur. The quaint village of Lauterbrunnen, with its charming wooden chalets and cascading waterfalls, adds a sense of serenity to the dramatic landscape, emphasizing Switzerland’s timeless appeal as a destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers. This poster is emblematic of mid-20th-century travel art, which emphasized both the natural beauty of destinations and the sense of escape they offered. The simple yet evocative design showcases the unspoiled wilderness of the Bernese Oberland, a region renowned for its hiking trails, skiing resorts, and breathtaking vistas. Lauterbrunnen, with its iconic Staubbach Falls, is prominently depicted, serving as a gateway to the larger Jungfrau Region and its endless opportunities for outdoor exploration. Rolf Krebs' poster is not only a promotional piece but also a work of art that invites viewers to experience the Swiss Alps in all their grandeur. It reflects the era’s focus on travel as an immersive, rejuvenating experience, and the poster continues to be a cherished collector’s item, representing both the nostalgia of vintage travel advertising and the timeless allure of Switzerland’s natural landscapes.
