Walter Lorch, damals Vizepräsident des Alpine Ski Club of Great Britain. Er war Elektroingenieur, Alpinist und Skiwanderer. Reich illustriertes Populärwissenschaftliches Werk.

In winter 1864/65, the global history of winter tourism began in the mountains of Graubuenden.It was the promise of healthy mountain air that first brought German and English visitors to the still largely undiscovered mountains surrounding St. Moritz and Davos. These adventurous early winter guests and the entrepreneurial spirit of the locals set a trend in motion that was soon taken up by numerous locations in Switzerland and its neighbouring countries. Illustrious guests made up new sports, and with the advent of skiing, winter sports turned into a popular movement. This book tells the full story of this de¬velopment for the very first time, in a coherent and richly illustrated layout.
