Alps Curling Experts Montana Post Card Swiss Walker Worthington 1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1930s at the picturesque Swiss ski and winter sports resort of Crans Montana, nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps. This postcard captures a scene of excitement and athleticism as curling experts take to the ice in this iconic winter sport. Curling, a traditional Scottish game, gained immense popularity in Europe during the early 20th century. The sport requires teams to slide heavy granite stones towards a circular target area while teammates use brooms to sweep the ice in front of the stone to control its speed and direction. In this image, two well-known curling experts of the era, Walker and Worthington, can be seen in action. Their focused expressions and determined body language convey the intensity and skill required to master this intricate sport. The pristine ice rink, set against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountains, adds to the serene and picturesque atmosphere of the scene. Crans Montana, established in 1926, quickly became a renowned winter sports destination, attracting both local and international athletes to compete in various winter sports. The resort's commitment to promoting and preserving the rich history of winter sports is evident in this photograph, taken in 1935. As you hold this postcard in your hands, you can almost hear the clatter of curling stones and the hushed whispers of spectators, transporting you back to a time when winter sports were at the height of their glory. This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the passion and dedication of the curling experts who helped shape the sport's legacy.
