A skier tucks into a steep descent beneath the red Briançon gondola while climbers pick their way up the cliff face, in the dramatic artwork Jean-René Poissonnié created for the French railways (SNCF) around 1950. The poster advertises the great Hautes-Alpes resorts along the Route des Grandes Alpes: Briançon, Montgenèvre, Serre-Chevalier, Le Pelvoux, La Meije, and Les Écrins.

Please note: this is a vintage lithographed REPRODUCTION of the famous poster, reduced in size from the 39 x 24 in original — the visible image measures 18.25 x 25.25 in. It is matted and framed under glass in a wood frame (31.5 x 25.5 in overall), ready to hang, and is sold framed exactly as shown.

A striking piece for a ski chalet, lodge great room, mountain cabin, or any room that wants a shot of classic alpine winter. The deep red lettering and the red gondola carry beautifully across a room. See less
