France Megève, Haute-Savoie

This original vintage French ski-travel poster captures the glamorous atmosphere of winter sports in Megève (Haute-Savoie) during the mid-century golden age of Alpine tourism. The scene is set on a sunny mountain terrace, where well-dressed skiers and holidaymakers relax at outdoor tables, chatting and enjoying refreshments after a day on the slopes. The crowd wears classic cold-weather resort clothing—ski jackets, sunglasses, and knit hats—giving the image that unmistakable 1950s/60s Alpine lifestyle feel.

Behind the lively foreground, the view opens dramatically onto towering snow-covered peaks under a crisp blue sky with scattered clouds. The contrast between the bustling terrace and the quiet, vast mountain landscape emphasizes Megève’s appeal: elegant social resort life paired with breathtaking high-Alps scenery.

Mounted on linen. The poster has several condition issues, including badly trimming along the margins, surface scratches, and general age wear. Despite these flaws, the image remains highly decorative, and it would present very well framed, where the border losses and wear would be far less noticeable.
