Davos 1907

Long before Davos became a global byword for winter gatherings, it was one of the great Swiss alpine resorts, and posters like this helped make its name. This reproduction of Walter Koch's 1907 poster for Davos captures the early magic of mountain tourism, a piece of classic Swiss travel advertising brought back for the contemporary wall.

Walter Koch's design belongs to the celebrated tradition of Swiss travel and resort posters that flourished in the years around 1900. As railways opened the high valleys and health tourism drew visitors seeking clean mountain air, resorts commissioned artists to translate the appeal of the Alps into a single striking image. Davos, set high in the Grisons and renowned as both a climatic health station and a winter-sports haven, was exactly the destination such posters promoted. Koch's work reflects the confident, atmosphere-forward style of that golden age of alpine lithography, when a poster's task was to make you dream of snow, sunlight and thin, invigorating air.

We reproduce the artwork as a fine-art print on museum-grade 189gsm archival matte paper using pigment inks valued for their richness and permanence. The velvety matte surface renders the vintage palette with honest, glare-free color and crisp edges, while the archival stock resists fading so the image holds its clarity for years. The substantial museum-grade sheet has a satisfying tactile weight and lies beautifully flat once framed, giving the print the quiet presence of an original gallery piece rather than a thin commercial poster. This is a faithful modern reproduction chosen for its graphic appeal, not an original antique, and it arrives finished to a clean, gallery-ready standard.

Choose from five sizes to suit your room: 8x12, 12x18, 16x24, 20x30 and 24x36 inches. Compact formats work beautifully in a gallery wall, a cabin nook or a desk lean, while the larger prints command attention above a bed, mantel or entry console. The alpine resort theme feels perfectly at home in a chalet, ski lodge, mountain-modern living room or a travel-themed hallway, and it layers handsomely with other vintage travel and winter-sport posters. It also makes a memorable gift for skiers, alpine travelers, Switzerland lovers and collectors of vintage graphic design, and it lends any room an instant sense of cool mountain escape and understated old-world elegance.

Every print ships rolled in a durable protective tube, ready to frame however you choose. We leave the framing to you so you can pair it with sleek black metal, warm natural pine or a bright gallery white to match your space. Because the print is sized to standard frame dimensions, mounting it takes only minutes.
