SNCF Avec le Train 1964

This original vintage 1964 SNCF poster photograph by P. Nourry most likely depicts the Mont Blanc massif area, specifically around Chamonix or nearby resorts such as Le Fayet or Saint-Gervais. The snow-covered peak in the background closely resembles Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe, and the rack railway train winding up the slope suggests the Mont Blanc Tramway, a well-known route connecting Le Fayet to Nid d’Aigle.

The scene captures a lively alpine ski station where visitors arrive directly by train, reflecting SNCF’s promotion of easy access to major winter sports destinations. In the foreground, two skiers in stylish mid-century attire pause in conversation, while behind them groups of visitors gather near the station as a mountain train climbs through the snowy landscape. The dramatic alpine setting reinforces the appeal of the French Alps as a premier winter destination.
