Post Coach
These large horse-drawn coaches became legendary for their ability to make their way over the frequently narrow and steep mountain roads. A factor contributing to the popularity of these vehicles was the impressive and often fearsome alpine scenery they travelled through. Within the framework of the mail and passenger service the Swiss Postal Service had at its disposal a great number of the most various types of wagons or coaches.
