L’Hiver en Norvège Skiing Poster – Schenk – 1938
In this superb L’Hiver en Norvège Skiing Poster, the artist Schenk has perfectly captured one of skiing’s best moments. It’s that time you’ve reached the summit and the excitement begins to build. There’s nothing like the feeling of anticipation just before you set off on a steep, fast downhill run. Then, just before you go your mate says ‘last one back buys the beers’! And you’re off!
It’s a fantastic image and is certainly one of the best Norwegian skiing posters. It was published by the Norges Statbaner to promote Norway as a winter sport and skiing destination for tourists. This is the French version of the poster. However, an English version of ‘Winter in Norway’ was produced at the same time.
If you ask the Norwegians, Norway is the birthplace of skiing. While there is still some debate about where skiing originated from Norway has a known ski heritage that dates back more than 4,000 years. And, they’ve won more Winter Olympic gold medals than any other nation.
If you’re lucky enough to have ever been, you’ll know that skiing is one of the most popular winter activities in Norway. The country is home to some of the best ski resorts in the world. Trysil, Oppdal, Hafjell, Gaustadblikk Rjukan, Hovden, and Voss are just a few of the resorts that offer stunning scenery and challenging slopes.
L’Hiver en Norvège Skiing is a highly desirable and popular poster design, with an original copy fetching a hefty price of £3,500 back in 2015.

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 £12. So you can bag a bargain of print and frame for a great price.
