Zermatt on August 1 1966

In the 1960s, we often spent a few days in Zermatt during the summer. In this car-free village, horse-drawn carriages lined up at the train station to take vacationers to their hotels; the picture shows magnificently decorated horses on the occasion of Swiss National Day. The picture is only available in our archive as a used postcard; on closer inspection, you can even see the trace of a postmark at the top.
