Chemin de fer de la Jungfrau: Oberland bernois

Bring a piece of Alpine history into your home with this stunning vintage poster by Swiss artist Ernst Hodel, created around 1930. This original lithograph captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Bernese Alps, promoting the legendary Jungfrau Railway, the highest train line in Europe, reaching the breathtaking Jungfraujoch at 3454 meters above sea level.

Hodel’s masterful use of light, contrast, and mountain form brings this high-altitude landscape to life. The snowy ridges, the glowing rock formations, and the solitary Swiss-flagged building evoke both the grandeur of nature and the boldness of human engineering. This work was originally commissioned to promote Swiss alpine tourism during the golden age of railway travel in the early 20th century.

Printed in stone lithography, this original poster is an authentic testimony to the rise of Swiss mountain tourism. It showcases the Jungfrau Railway, a marvel of engineering burrowed through the Eiger and Mönch, offering an unforgettable journey to the "Top of Europe".

Sought after by collectors, this piece stands out for its:

• Iconic graphic composition and artistic signature

• Strong historical and cultural value

• Scarcity in the market, especially in well-preserved condition

Ideal for refined wall décor – whether in a mountain lodge, a collector’s study, or a stylish alpine interior – this poster invites you to travel back to a time of exploration, elegance, and elevation.
