About this poster
This most amazing vintage poster shows some chic-looking skiers are coming off the train at this "station" of snow without luggage, at the very foot of the slopes. The colorful sweaters against the white evoke a crisp, exhilarating Alpine day. This typical Art Deco design advertises the Mont-Blanc railway connecting St. Gervais to the Nid d’Aigle.
