Mont Blanc Massif, map no. 4, in a series contoured hiking maps at 1:50,000 with local trails, long-distance footpaths, mountain accommodation, etc. from the Turin based Istituto Geografico Centrale covering the Italian Alps and Piedmont, the lakes and northern Lombardy, and the Italian Riviera.

The maps have contours at 50m intervals, enhanced by shading and graphic relief. An overprint highlights local footpaths and long-distance routes, including the GTA (Grande Traversata delle Alpi), Via Alpina, Tour Monte Rosa, and Alta Via del Monti Liguri - the high level route along the Ligurian Alps. Difficult sections of the routes and the Via Ferrata passages are indicated. New editions now also include an overprint highlighting cycling routes, where indicated in the map’s individual description.

The maps also show various types of alpine accommodation: refuges, shelters, hostels, campsites, etc. Cable car lines, chair lifts, and mountain railways are marked, as well as, for road users, entry restrictions on local tracks. Each map covers approximately 50 x 40 km / 30 x 25 miles. The maps have no geographical coordinates. Map legend includes English.

In this title: the map shows the Tour of Mont Blanc, apart from two sections: Champex to the French border and approximately 4-5 km of its southernmost part in France. On the reverse, there are two excellent panorama drawings of the massif viewed from Courmayeur and from Chamonix and descriptions, in Italian only, of various resorts and hiking routes.
