Apart from Petrarch's example in the 14th century, mountaineering tourism is still a young sport.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed colour lithograph captures the essence of Touristik, or tourism, in the 20th century. The image depicts a group of mountaineers embarking on an adventurous journey through the majestic Alps, showcasing the thrill and excitement of exploring nature's wonders.
The history of mountaineering tourism is traced back to Petrarch's example in the 14th century, but it wasn't until later centuries that it truly blossomed into a popular sport. The illustration highlights how figures like Goethe played a pivotal role in shaping the perception of mountaineering as not just a physical challenge, but also a spiritual and aesthetic pursuit.
The depiction of climbers conquering peaks like Mont Blanc symbolizes the growing popularity and accessibility of mountain exploration during this time period. The intricate details in the print bring to life the rugged terrain, snow-capped peaks, and sheer determination of these early adventurers.
This artwork serves as a visual reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with nature and our relentless quest for adventure. It encapsulates the spirit of exploration and discovery that drives tourists to seek out new horizons and push their limits in pursuit of unforgettable experiences.
