Gstaad Skiing Poster – Martin Peikert – 1950
When it comes to posters, you can always count on Martin Peikert for top-quality designs. He is one of the most popular and highly collectible artists out there. His posters are often eye-catching designs that incorporate the use of bold colours, clever and unusual compositions coupled with dynamic typography and often just a subtle touch of humour.
This 1930s Gstaad skiing poster is a great example. The poster features an excited and exhuberant woman skiing down what seems to be an impossible mountain side. She is portrayed speeding down the steep slope at top speed with her arms outstretched enthusiatically, leaving behind a trail of snow that spells out the name of the resort, Gstaad. A hint of the mountain rage of the Bernese Alps is included in the bottom left hand corner.

Other Martin Peikert Travel Posters
The highly respected Swiss painter and poster artist Martin Peikert is the artist behind this fabulous MOB, Montreux Bernese Oberland skiing poster. Peikert is well known for the realism and precision of his wonderful poster illustrations. He created dozens of travel posters and skiing posters for ski resorts across the Alps.
Some of his best-known and most popular posters include his Gstaad poster featuring a couple on a ski lift heading towards ‘the moon’. His poster advertising St Moritz with a cable car heading towards the snow-covered mountain peak.
For many of his posters, Peikert used his first wife Henriette as his muse and model. One example is his Les Diablerets poster featuring a skier being pulled up a ski slope with a sprite of her shoulders. One features her travelling to a ski resort on the roof of the MOB Railway and another MOB Railway poster shows her asleep on the roof of a small Swiss chalet. One of his best in my opinion is his iconic Champery ski poster of a woman relaxing in the snow.
Whether you’re an avid skier or simply a fan of beautiful posters, Peikert’s Champery Ski Poster is sure to bring back happy memories of your time on the slopes. The high-quality fade-resistant print is ready for framing, so you can enjoy it for years to come. Order your poster today and relive your skiing holiday every time you see it!
Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears, or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.
The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £15. So you can bag a bargain of print and frame for a great price.
