    It's where ever the abbreviation S. A. follows a business name under certain circumstances. (the equivalent to the UK Limited or the US Inc.?)

    The shop to the left could be internationales S.A
    The shop above the sleigh is a jeweller and watch shop.

    There's a pharmacy (Pharmacie) sign above the driver's head and what looks like it might be the word Chemist between the horses legs.

    Between the horses legs might read English Chemist.

    That's a toughie. Not a lot to go by. Certainly an early French-speaking ski resort. And the only clue I see is that the downtown is set right next to a mountain which will eliminate many possibilities but still leave many.

    One other thought... Are you sure your photograph isn't a movie still? There's something rather stage-y about it. For instance, some buildings appear to have flat roofs which is odd to find in snow country.

    That is a possibility Debora.
    I`ve been trying to find out the shop details above the window sun shade.

    Bijoux (Jewellry) W.Muniwour ? or Munimuler ? Montres (Watches)

    I`ll have to try and enhance the original.

    I agree with other posters that S.A stands for Société Anonyme - a designation for a company such as Inc or Pty Limited. Internationale is obviously "international". So I think French, but of course French was widely spoken through Europe. Pharmacie is also the French spelling for a chemist or "drug store" and the words near the horses legs I suggest are English Chemist.The sleigh, snow and other French words suggest to me the French Alps? How much fun would the toboggans be at the back of the sleigh?
