Gstaad vintage skiing poster – Alex Walter Diggelmann – 1934

Gstaad vintage skiing poster – Alex Walter Diggelmann – 1934 If you’re looking for a way to add a bit of Swiss charm to your home decor, you won’t go wrong with our reproduction print of this fabulous Gstaad vintage skiing poster. It was created in 1934 by the Swiss artist Alex Walter Digglemann to promote the famous Swiss ski resort. The artist’s illustration depicts a bright red ski truck descending the snow-laden slopes with the confidence of a seasoned Sherpa. The vehicle’s vibrant red exterior, emblazoned with the resort’s name, Saanenmöser-Hornberg, carves a path through the pristine snow-covered slopes of the mountain, a reassuring symbol of safety and comfort. The ski truck’s caterpillar tracks leave their sinuous trail, as the vehicle steadily snakes its way downhill. Against a backdrop of the impressive Swiss alpine landscape and within the shadow of the Giferspitz, the highest mountain in the western Bernese Alps the red ski truck makes its way to the familiar comforts of the ski resort. In the back, a few weary skier’s faces, flushed from the day’s adventures, skis and boards propped beside them, are happy to be heading back. Soon, tales of daring descents and near misses will be shared around crackling fireplaces, warm mugs nestled in gloved hands. The journey might be ending, but the memories etched in the snow, and the bonds forged on the slopes, would endure long after the final track was made. Today, the Gstaad vintage skiing poster is widely considered to be one of the top vintage ski posters every skier should own. However, you would need some serious money, if you wanted to own an original print. Back in 2015, an original 1934 lithographic print was placed in an auction with a guide price of between $ 2,000 – $ 3,000. However, it set a record when the hammer fell, when it realised $30,000. Owning an original must be an incredible feeling and, over time, could even turn out to be a profitable investment. However, the truth is that original vintage poster prices are simply out of reach for most people. This is where our fabulous high-quality reproduction prints come into their own. They capture the essence and the undeniable charisma of the original poster. You get the same intricate details, impactful imagery, and iconic typography… but best of all they cost a fraction of an original and still look absolutely fantastic when they’re framed and hung on your living room wall. Infuse your home with the cozy charm of an Alpine chalet, reminisce about your unforgettable Gstaad trip, or add a touch of winter elegance to your workspace with this cool vintage poster.
