Product Details
- 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!
