Spectators in brightly coloured winter coats line the snowy slopes to watch a bobsleigh team speed down the curved track through the alpine valley of St Pierre de Chartreuse. The scene depicts the excitement of 1930s winter sports against a backdrop of snow-laden evergreen trees and distant mountains.

Designed by Roger Broders for the Paris Lyon Méditerranée railway in 1930, this poster promoted winter sports destinations accessible by train. Broders was commissioned by PLM to create a series of travel posters showcasing French Alpine resorts, and this bobsleigh scene represents the glamour and adventure of winter sports tourism in the era before widespread automobile travel.

The poster exemplifies Broders' Art Deco approach to travel advertising, with its bold composition and dynamic crowd scene. St Pierre de Chartreuse, situated in the Chartreuse mountains north of Grenoble, was developing as a winter sports destination during this period.

Reproduced as an archival print on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Fine Art Paper, this piece appeals to collectors of vintage ski memorabilia and those drawn to the golden age of railway travel advertising.
