EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s, showcases the iconic Matterhorn mountain in Switzerland, with its distinctive peak jutting into the clear blue sky. Nestled at the base of the mountain is the picturesque Riffelalp, a popular alpine resort village known for its stunning vistas and challenging hiking trails. In the foreground, the historic Gornergrat Bahn railway track winds its way up the mountain, disappearing into the mist as it ascends towards the summit. The train, a marvel of engineering from the era, was a popular means for tourists to experience the breathtaking views of the Alps. The Riffelalp Station, with its quaint wooden buildings, can be seen in the lower right corner of the image. The Matterhorn, a symbol of the Swiss Alps and one of the most recognizable mountains in the world, stands tall and proud against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks and sloping alpine terrain. The serene beauty of the scene is further enhanced by the contrast between the vibrant green vegetation and the stark white snow, creating a harmonious blend of nature's elements. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the Swiss Alps and the unique experience of traveling through the mountains by train. It transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the excitement and wonder felt by early 20th-century travelers as they journeyed to Riffelalp and marveled at the majesty of the Matterhorn.
