Grindelwald and Wetterhorn Postcard
Grindelwald and the Wetterhorn
Nestled in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland, Grindelwald is a charming alpine village surrounded by the stunning peaks of the Swiss Alps. Its history dates back to the Middle Ages when it was primarily a farming community. However, Grindelwald's transformation into a popular tourist destination began in the 18th century when travelers and mountaineers started exploring the region for its breathtaking landscapes. The construction of mountain hotels and the development of hiking trails facilitated the influx of visitors, marking the beginning of Grindelwald's ascent as a renowned alpine resort.
The Wetterhorn, a majestic mountain situated near Grindelwald, has played a prominent role in the region's history and allure. Rising to an elevation of 3,692 metres (12,113 feet), the Wetterhorn has long captivated mountaineers and nature enthusiasts. The mountain gained fame in the mid-19th century when it became one of the targets of the emerging sport of alpinism. Its distinctive pyramidal shape and challenging ascent made it a sought-after peak for climbers. Notably, Sir Leslie Stephen, father of Virginia Woolf and a pioneering mountaineer, achieved the first ascent of the Wetterhorn in 1854. The Wetterhorn's allure further contributed to the popularity of Grindelwald as a base for alpine exploration.
Today, Grindelwald remains a quintessential Swiss mountain village, attracting visitors with its picturesque scenery and outdoor recreational activities. The Wetterhorn continues to be a symbol of the region's natural beauty, drawing hikers, climbers, and nature enthusiasts from around the world. Grindelwald and the Wetterhorn together showcase the timeless appeal of the Swiss Alps, offering a harmonious blend of history, adventure, and awe-inspiring landscapes.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
