With its special sheet “Liechtenstein’s mountain world” featuring four
stamps, Philately Liechtenstein is highlighting the country's alpine
character. Four striking mountains represent the diversity of
Liechtenstein's landscape – from well-known panoramic mountains to the
highest point in the Principality. The motifs are deliberately designed
as simplified silhouettes.
The “Drei Schwestern” (2052 m, face
value CHF 1.00) are among the most famous mountain formations in
Liechtenstein. They dominate the landscape in the north of the country
and are a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. The
“Schönberg” (2104 m, face value CHF 1.20) rises above the Rhine Valley
and offers impressive views of the Alpine panorama. It represents the
gentler, yet still Alpine side of Liechtenstein's mountain world.
The
“Rappenstein” (2221 m, face value CHF 1.90) marks a transition to more
challenging mountain regions. It is part of the country's alpine
backbone and a destination for experienced mountaineers. The special
sheet features Liechtenstein's highest mountain, the “Grauspitz” (2599
m, face value CHF 2.50). It symbolizes the alpine peak of the
principality and stands for sporting challenges, nature experiences, and
high alpine landscapes.
