'St. Moritz'
A compact folding tourist map of St Moritz and the Upper Engadin, published by C. J. Bucher AG, Lucerne, circa 1960. Max Bieder’s panoramic view maps the ski grounds of Corviglia and Piz Nair, with numbered descents, tours, lifts and winter-sport facilities, including the Cresta Run, Olympic Run and Guinness and Niarchos runs. Celerina, Samedan, the Engadin lakes, railways and roads are clearly shown, while a bright yellow side panel supplies the multilingual key and a schematic European travel map. The reverse contains an engaging photographic montage of skiing, bobsleigh, horse racing, skating and mountain transport, with images credited to Pedrett, Rutz, Steiner and Wagner. The infrastructure narrows the map state to 1958–61: the Celerina–Marguns gondola opened 1958 is shown, but the Salastrains–Munt da San Murezzan lift opened in 1962 is absent. An appealing period record of St Moritz at its post-war height.
