Vintage travel posters first appeared in the late 1800s and early 1900s, as railways expanded and leisure travel became more common. Railway companies led the way by hiring artists to create eye-catching posters that promoted new destinations reachable by train. Ski resorts soon became a popular theme, especially in Alpine regions such as Switzerland, France, and Austria, where winter tourism was on the rise. Artists often depicted skiers against impressive mountain scenery, using simple shapes, clear lines, and bold colors to draw attention.
These posters caught on because they mixed art and information in a way that was both inspiring and easy to relate to. Before photography became common in ads, artists used illustration to make destinations look ideal, presenting skiing as stylish, healthy, and up-to-date. National tourism boards and resort towns began using this style too, hiring famous graphic designers to create unique looks for their destinations. Posters for places like St. Moritz, Zermatt, and Chamonix shaped how people thought about winter travel, turning snowy, far-off places into attractive spots linked with sports and style.
Although vintage travel posters are not the main way destinations advertise anymore, they still shape how places show themselves. Now, these posters are mainly used for decoration, historical interest, or memorable branding rather than for widespread ads. People still love them for their skillful design and the way they capture a unique time in travel history, when skiing was new and stood for modern leisure.
