EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of winter in the Swiss Alps, specifically in the picturesque village of Zermatt near the iconic Matterhorn peak. The image, taken in the late 1930s, showcases a group of intrepid skiers making their way down the snowy slope of Riffelboden, with the unique and unmistakable shape of the Matterhorn summit looming in the background. The Matterhorn, also known as the Cervin or Mont Cervin, is one of the most famous and recognizable peaks in the world, and has long been a draw for mountain climbers and skiers alike. The alpine landscape is blanketed in pristine snow, and the crisp, clear air adds to the sense of serenity and tranquility. The skiers, dressed in traditional attire, appear small against the grandeur of the mountain, yet their determination and joy are palpable. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Swiss Alps and the allure of winter sports, and offers a glimpse into a bygone era of skiing in the 30s.
