One of the titles in a series of hiking maps covering the Italian Alps, the Ligurian coast, most of Piedmont, and parts of northern Lombardy. The maps have contours at 50m intervals, shading and graphic relief. An overprint highlights local footpaths, indicating difficult passages, and long-distance routes, including the GTA (Grande Traversata delle Alpi), Tour Monte Rosa, and Alta Via del Monti Liguri, the high level route along the Ligurian Alps. The maps also show all 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.
This 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.
