The poster promotes Arosa, a mountain resort in the canton of Graubünden at about 6,000 feet, or roughly 1,800 meters, in the Swiss Alps. Its title repeats the name in English, German, Dutch and French, a sign of how Swiss tourism sought visitors from abroad in the 1930s. Printed in Zürich by J.C. Müller in 1938, it belongs to a large group of colorful travel posters that promoted winter sports as much as the scenery. Its subject tags point to sports and winter, which reflects Arosa's growing reputation for skiing in the years before the Second World War.
