Postcards from the piste

A new photo book based on old postcards takes a historical look at the development of the upmarket Swiss resort of Verbier in canton Valais.

The book “Images of Verbier. The old postcards”, which retraces Verbier’s development from 1900 to 1960, was compiled from 250 postcards belonging to François Luisier, who started collecting 40 years ago and now has some 3,000 postcards in his personal collection, and Jean-Marie Michellod. The book is on sale at Bagnes Museum and at bookshops in canton Valais.
