Skiing in the 1920s in a Saurer

"Up the mountainside in char-a-bancs" was the caption that accompanied this old Motor Transport picture.

The bus on the left is clearly a Swiss-built Saurer, but does anyone recognise the other one?

Apparently this 1920s photo was taken at the "new winter sports centre" in Bad Gurnigel, Switzerland. The article went on to explain that the skiing party are leaving the hotel for Mount Gurnigel, for skiing down the mountain.

Check out this odd-looking bloke I spotted sitting in the back of the Saurer. High blood pressure or what?
