Neuware -'Nichts lässt sich mit den Alpen vergleichen', stellt der berühmte französische Historiker Jules Michelet 1868 fest. Das riesige Alpenmassiv im Herzen Europas birgt einige der großartigsten Naturschönheiten der Welt - den Montblanc, die Jungfrau, das Matterhorn und ihre Gletscher. Der Tourismus, der im späten 18. Jahrhundert einsetzt, nimmt in der Folgezeit gewaltig zu, insbesondere durch den unaufhaltsamen Aufschwung des Wintersports. Dieses Buch entführt uns in eine hinreißend altmodische Zeit, in der die ersten Berg- und Zahnradbahnen Herren in Lederhosen und Damen in langen Röcken an den Rand der Gletscher brachten, in der einheimische Bergführer mit Touristen auf Maultierrücken unterwegs waren, Bergsteiger als Verrückte galten und Skifahrer eine Kuriosität darstellten. Mittels Photochromen, Fotografien, kolorierten Postkarten, Plakaten und Reiseprospekten aus dem späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert überqueren wir Pässe wie den Mont Cenis, Simplon, Brenner und St. Gotthard, besteigen den Montblanc, den Eiger, das Wetterhorn und die Dolomiten, bewundern kristallklare Seen in der Schweiz, Italien, Bayern und Slowenien, erkunden Tirol, die Via Mala oder das Engadin und steigen für eine Wintersportsaison in einem Grandhotel in Gstaad, Grindelwald, Davos, St. Moritz oder Cortina ab. Ein Streifzug, den Zitate von Reiseschriftstellern begleiten und der an die glücklichen Zeiten erinnert, als Schnee und Berge noch unberührt waren!GPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 600 pp. Englisch, Deutsch, Französisch. …

“Nothing compares to the Alps” wrote the great French historian Jules Michelet in 1868. At the very heart of Europe, the gigantic Alpine mountain range includes some of the most grandiose natural sites in the world, such as Mont Blanc, the Jungfrau, the Matterhorn, and their glaciers. Tourism began in the late 1800s and grew tremendously over the next centuries, especially with the rise of winter sports. This book offers a charming tour of a bygone era, when the first mountain trains and cog railways were carrying men in lederhosen and women in long dresses to the foot of the glacier, when local guides accompanied tourists riding on mules; a time when the first alpinists were considered mad, and skiers were a curiosity.
Through photochromes, photographs, and color postcards of the 19th and 20th centuries, through travel posters and tourist brochures, we cross passes such as the Mont-Cenis, Simplon, Brenner, and St. Gotthard; climb Mont Blanc, the Eiger, the Wetterhorn, and the Dolomites; marvel at crystal-clear lakes in Switzerland, Italy, Bavaria, and Slovenia; explore Tyrol, the Via Mala, and the Engadin; and spend the winter season at grand hotels in Gstaad, Grindelwald, Davos, St. Moritz, and Cortina. This is a journey dotted with literary quotes by travel writers that evokes these happy days of pristine snow and untouched slopes!
