      Typically Swiss Chalets, it must be either in Wallis or in Graubünden.

      The sledge lets me think it might be in the region of Davos because these are made of wood, are still used nowadays and are called "Davoser".

      I think you're on the right track with Davos, Tambako. Probably all five of the snow scenes (the three of log houses, the one of the church, and the one view through the trees) are around Davos.

      mp.ch identified (correctly, I think) Davos Frauenkirch, and the view through the trees has exactly the same mountain in the background that appears in the church photo.

      Also, all five prints have close or adjacent print numbers (1016, 1021, 1022, 1023, and 1024.)
